first check the parameters defined for grdTray (that´s what you need the grdTray docs for). you will find those parameters either in the step.rc file or in an other file that has been attached to step.rc with the Include command.
then search the equivalent parameters (position, size, wrap count, ...) for systray2 (in the lsdocs)
replace
LoadModule ...\grdtray3.dll (or grdtray.dll)
with
LoadModule ...\systray2.dll
now define the parameters for systray2.dll in the step.rc file
then recycle.
then search the equivalent parameters (position, size, wrap count, ...) for systray2 (in the lsdocs)
replace
LoadModule ...\grdtray3.dll (or grdtray.dll)
with
LoadModule ...\systray2.dll
now define the parameters for systray2.dll in the step.rc file
then recycle.

3rd-party module choice can often lead to various hassles....not all comps/Os's/systems being identical.
Often it's the age of the build of LiteSTEP.exe that will render a module 'faulty'...and changing the build can solve problems...

i recommend to download the grdtray module from ShellFront´s http://www.shellfront.org modules list. the docs are included in the ZIP file.
