Power And Volume Icon Disappeared
Oct 27, 2009
im using a toshiba satellite M300 running vista home premium and i have just had the LCD cable replaced in the repair shop.. i dont think this is the problem but before i sent it in, i had fully operational icons in the taskbar including time, messenger, power and volume control. i got the computer back and now the power and volume icons have disappeared. the time and messenger are still there i have gone into properties > notification tab and the option for CLOCK is checked but Volume, Network and Power are all greyed out. i can control other program icons but those three just dont seem to be available.

Vista Ultimate SP1 (32-bit) on Dell Precision M6300 laptop. These 3 icons are a continual source of problems on this machine. When the machine boots, sometimes all 3 are missing, sometimes just the Power icon appears and sometimes all 3 actually appear but the Network icon has a red X on it even when there are no network connection issues. Just occasionally (say 1 in 5 boots) will all 3 icons be visible and in their correct states.
I have tried the standard fix of applying or de-applying certain policies but none of those policies was ever in force to begin with. It goes without saying that when the icons are missing then they are grayed-out in the properties of the Start Menu. How do I get reliable behaviour from these icons? The machine is part of a domain which may be relevant in relation to Group Policies but I cannot see why they are there sometimes and then disappear after a reboot only to reappear on the next boot.

I lost the volume control icon in the notification area. When I go to properties for the notification area the volume check box is grayed out. I've also looked in the Creative software but there is no option that I can find for the volume control icon. Any ideas on how to get it back?

Not sure if this is a Vista problem or some type of malware or IM downloaded icon. The icon appeared after one of my kids was on PC. Do not know if she was in an IM program or not. The "volume control" icon can not be removed. Can't right or left click to get info or even move or delete it. Can't find any associated program that was installed in the last 2 days. Anyone ever have or seen this problem?

I m getting the bluetooth icon in the notification area(system tray) back. I right-clicked on it and said 'remove' thinking it would hide it but now I can't get it back even when i customize the show/hide icons menu. I'm using a bluetooth usb dongle.

both me and my husband have just run windows update, and all of a sudden, on both our machines, the recycle bin icon has disappeared. Coincidence? Probably not. Anyways, does anyone know of a quick way to restore the icon?

I had sound on my dell Inspiron. Today I have no sound and the small icon on the tool bar has disappeared. A look at sound on the control panel leaves me baffled.

drive labels disappeared in "My computer" icons still there. (you know, there is not "My" but let me call it like that for easier talk.) but shows well in view - detail or list something like that. So, I tested some tips. I also set a ShowDriveLettersFirst key in the regedit. still, I can't see drive labels. but they are shown in a dialog box of "save as..." does anybody know the solution or reason of this? can't see drive labels these 3 pics. but they show in this mode. and in this one(save as...) The drive letters come first because of the tip that I tested. c: drive has no label.(means "local disk" in korean. ) d: drive's label is "DATA". You might already have an inkling. I'm Korean. please forgive my bad english. and characters in those pictures are korean letters "Hangul". I'm really really sorry because I can't prepare english version.

I own an HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop, that runs Windows Vista Ultimate. The other day I noticed that the battery icon in the lower right hand corner had dissappeared. I tried looking in "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" and under the "Notification Area" but the power box under "System icons" was avaliable for checking.

I have an Acer laptop with Vista (SP1). Recently I have noticed the power icon no longer displays in the notification area. If I go to Taskbar and Start Menu Properties, Notification Area tab, the Power check box is grayed out and not checked. This may have happened as a result of installing SP1, which I did two weeks ago, but I am not sure. I did not notice this until three days ago.
I have tried a registry edit I found online (deleting any keys regarding "iconstreams"), but this did not help.

For some reason, the laptop I just bought (Gateway FX P-7805u) will not remain shutdown if the Ethernet cable is still plugged in, and will turn itself back on. Sometimes it's immediately after shutdown, sometimes it's a few minutes later. I am actually pressing shutdown (not the "low power" option button, that looks very similar to the shutdown icon, located next to the Lock button in the Start Menu).

No sound: it's just not working, and whenever I try to change the volume from the taskbar, a window pops up saying "Volume Control Applet is not responding". Also when I right-click on the sound icon and go to 'playback devices' and then go to the recording tab, it freezes (the window) and says "Windows Shell Common dll is not responding. (I don't know if this is related but my iTunes isn't working, I double-click to listen but the little time bar at the top doesn't move at all, but the window does not freeze)

PC: HP Windows Media Center PC m8200n; Monitor HP w1907. November 2007. OS: Windows Vista Home Premium. HP: Deskjet F4180. So I noticed that the printer icon for my printer became all white, IE a corrupted icon. So I went online and found information on how to refresh your icon folder. That didn't do anything. So I thought I'd uninstall and reinstall.
I have tried to reinstall my HP software from disc, and I get a 'new PSSWCORE.msi' file. I see the file on the install disc, yet it won't install. 'Network resource is unavailable.'
Now I cannot uninstall it. On my Add/Remove I see:
HP Customer Participation Program 9.0
HP All In One Software 9.0
HP Imaging device Functions 9.0
HP On-Screen Cap/Num/Scroll Lock Indicator
HP Photosmart Essential
HP Update
How can I get these off my PC, and reinstall cleanly so I can use my rinter/scanner again?

Our new 20" HP Monitor (w2007) has built-in speakers situated on the back of the case. I've already set the audio output control to a full 100 on the taskbar. Been thinking about installing a free-standing set of small HP speakers instead. Would that make any difference? Wal-Mart sells a set that support Plug 'n Play for around $20, something I may try since fantastic sound isn't what I'm after. I'd just like to be able to hear the occasional DVD at something above a loud whisper during playback.

I recently noticed that I have two icons for volume--one says realtek HD audio and the other says realtek HD audio manager. I have no idea what the difference is between these two items.

The audio volume on vista is too low. How can I increase the volume on Windows Vista. It doesn't matter what device (medium) using. Can not increase volume loud enough no matter what the format. Just got Vista pc few days back. Today, had to turn full volume on volume icon in start bar, as well as turn full up in windows media to hear a speech and not really hear good enough, or as would desire. Volume is quite low. (to note this is something I've always listened to with xp.) This is after yesterday realizing same thing on listening to music, is way too low.
Also, in start bar is the volume icon, which has just a single slider, where in xp we had volume and could adjust several things. Is there any way to get the full capability volume icon which gave us some 5 controls? Main question though, how do I increase volume on windows vista (home premium sp1?)

I've recently followed how to extend my Vista disk space using the Computer Management tool. But unfortunately, the Extend Volume is greyed out and is N/A. I also tried Paragon disk tool and it said "Not available in Vista 64-bit, use Recovery CD".

I am using Vista x64 with a 3ware 9650SE raid controller as a redundant raid5 data drive. I added a 4th 1TB harddrive, and I am trying to extend the volume to merge with the new space currently available. I can't seem to do that though because "Extend Volume" is greyed out, and I can't figure out what is wrong. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Attached are screenshots that may help.

I wrote a small program using QueryDosDevice(...) API to get the volume name associated to an unit name (A:, B:, C: etc.). I, then, use CreateFile(...) and SetSecurityInfo(...) to modifie the DACL of the volume, so that I can allow or deny users or groups to acces to the Unit. This is done dynamicaly by a service detecting the unit arrival.
To be clear, the same thing can be done with:
SetNamedSecurityInfo ("\\.\A:",
SE_FILE_OBJECT,
DACL_SECURITY_INFORMATION|PROTECTED_DACL_SECURITY_INFORMATION,
NULL,
NULL,
paclNew,
NULL);
"\.A:" allow to open a volume and not the root of the unit as documented in API CreateFile(...)................
