my computer wont let me turn on notifications icon for battery and sound when i try to turn on they are grey out and wont let me idk y i have a window 7 starter intel atom hp mini laptop
Just recently i have noticed that the battery icon is missing from my taskbar. I have already right clicked on the taskbar and went under 'notification area' and selected for it to always be displayed. I have also tried clicking on 'turn system settings on and off' but it says it is off and does not allow be to turn it on. It kind of looks like the icon is missing or there is no icon for the battery power. I have a Windows 7 laptop.
I reinstalled a Windows 7 OS, and now the volume icon has disappeared from the taskbar. The only way I can adjust the volume is to go into Control Panel. I found the "turn system icons on or off" window, and although the volume icon says "show icon and notifications," it's not on the taskbar, so I don't know what more to do.
I had my new desktop with Windows 7 Home 64bit for about 2 weeks now and so far im loving it. The one and only problem im having is the volume icon in the taskbar.Sometimes when my Windows boots up, the volume icon is missing from the taskbar. I take a look in "turn system icons on or off" and the Volume, Network and Action Center are greyed out (cant click them.) It does this once every 2 or 3 reboots. The only way to fix it is to reboot. Its not a huge problem but its very annoying having to reboot 2 times.
I don't get it. i upgraded from vista to 7 when it came out. a few problems i have that i need explained by someone who knows more than me are:
1. How come when i raise or lower my volume it doesn't show on the screen that my volume is being raised or lowered.
2. How come when i use caps lock it does not show on my screen that its on all caps or not. (i need this because on passwords i have no way of knowing.)
3. How come when i press my battery button it does not display how much battery i have left.
it seems like none of my F1 - F12 keys work. why is this and how do i fix it so it shows up on the screen like it did in vista.
another problem i have is when i type fast, my keyboard spazzes out and it types random stuff, it freezes, and it opens files/folders all at the same time.
for some reason the Battery, network and volume icons in the notification area are gone! I have windows 7 Ultimate on a HP EliteBook 6930 I've tried to change the setting in gpmc.msc but no luck.
I recently noticed my network and battery icons have disappeared off my taskbar. When I tried to put them back, the check boxes in customize notification area were greyed out. I did a little research and people who had the same problem said to run "sfc /scannow" in command prompt. After attempting that, cmd gave me an error.
(Just got a new replacement battery because my old one finally died)As I'm writing this my battery status shows the charge. In about a minute, I'm assuming it will switch back to the red X status that says "No battery is detected"....The icon switches back and forth constantly and can't decide weather to show my status, or lie to me and tell me there's no battery attached to my laptop.I've read many threads about "no battery is detected" problems and I've done all the steps. New bios, detach and re-attach battery, uninstall and reinstall drivers, everything
Logged in today and just saw that the battery icon has gone. So now I don't know whether I have full battery or almost gone, apart from the alerts.
I right clicked the the taskbar above the other icons > properties but the power icon is set to off, and the 'off' button is blurred out, so I can't set it back to on. All the other icons are set to 'on', and have the option to be turned off, just the battery one is blocked.
I have a new laptop I've owned since Fall. Its specs are provide below. A while ago its volume adjustment buttons (fn + volume up or down) stopped working. I've been using the desktop toolbar to adjust the sound which is of course very inconvenient. Now in the last week, the volume icon will not show up in the toolbar and I have to reboot often to get it to show, even though the icon and notification are both enabled.I have run malware bytes and super anti-spyware and the latter removed some malware.

I've read past threads over this topic in Windows XP.the Sound Devices link does no longer exist in the Control Panel in Windows 7. How does it work in 7?
My battery icon has disappeared from the bottom right hand side of my toolbar. I am using windows 7. I went into tray icons and the power notification is greyed out. How to get this icon back?
I have an HP Pavilion dv4 and i noticed that when i move the mouse cursor over the battery icon in the system tray. It only displays percantage of battery, not displays the time remaing of how long my battery life is. So, Is there a setting somwhere or something I can do to make it appear?
The icon which controls volume which used to be on the lower left corner of my taskbar has disappeared.When I go into "Customise" then "Turn system icons on and off", I am unable to turn the "Volume" to "On".
