Hi guys,

I've always used 7Stacks but since formatting my machine it no longer works, an error pops up with 'unspecified error' when creating the shortcut to the stack on the desktop. Considering it's not been supported for over a year and others have had this issue and never got it working I'm not really confident it will ever work with me.

Is there any alternative software?

Or ideas how I can organise my icons? I don't like desktop icons at all and had four stacks created all with individual programs within them. Media, Games, Utilities, Documents. Is there anything else out there that could fulfill my needs?

I need it to come from the Taskbar ideally as this is what is always present and visible. I tried the standard Windows 7 toolbars, pointing them to my stacks but it looks horrible!

Not asking for much am I? :D

Thanks

I have two suggestions:-

1. Have you got all the dependencies it may need installed? Various versions of .NET Framework for example? DirectX (maybe)?
2. Failing 1. Maybe try Dock software? See this link for some suggestions: http://www.houseoflogics.com/2013/02/top-5-windows-7-docks-for-your-desktop.html

Hope this helps. :)
 
it's hard to find what dependencies it needs, doesn't really list anything on the site. I do have .Net and Direct X installed anyway.

I'll check the docks out, not sure I really wanted to go down the route, I'm wanting something that goes on the Windows taskbar really but maybe forced to use an external dock.
 
A dock one of my work colleagues uses sits on the top of the screen, but is hidden until you move your move up towards it, maybe that could help? Not sure what it's called I'm afraid though.

Good luck with your search anyway.
