When I rebooted the system, I noticed the Pprotray.exe program running. I now suspect that it was left running from a previous failed attempt to get the program to work? Anyway, I terminated that program and restarted PowerPro and it's now working where it hadn't before. I've got auto-hide, context menu, &c so I'm now one happy fellow.
