View 3 RepliesDell B110/ XP/ 512RAM. I always use standby mode, and it's not a problem. Except sometimes, I bring the computer out of standby and start the dialup connection as usual, but the connection icon does not appear. Things seem ok for about 10-15 minutes, then everything locks up and I have to restart. The computer functions normally after that. This happens about once a week (using the computer every day). Is there something about standby mode that cause this, or am I doing something wrong?

View 3 Replies View RelatedComputer runs on Windows XP Home SP2. Since the last two or three monthly Window updates, that yellow shield icon - the Windows Update icon - no longer shows up in the system tray. I tried to locate it under "previous elements" (I'm translating from German since my computer language is in German), but it's not there. I only know when Window updates have been downloaded when I want to shut down the computer and I have the option to either first install the updates, after which the computer will shut down automatically, or shut down the computer without installing the updates.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the last few months my volume icon does not load in the system tray most of the time on boot up.I have it selected to show in the task bar properties and the control panel. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get this icon back. I have to bring up the Master Volume Panel to change volume settings. This is a real pain most of the time, as all I want to do is stop a web site from playing some anoying music or turn the volume back on when I need it.

View 10 Replies View RelatedXP Pro SP2. In Network Connections folder I had an icon for a dial-up connection (which I use), a LAN connection (for wired NIC), A Wireless connection (for built in wireless card), and a 1394 connection (firewire port that XP likes to list as a connection). The NIC, wireless, and 1394 I keep set to disabled when I'm not using them. I enabled the wireless card and set up ad-hoc connection to another laptop with built-in wireless, so I could transfer some files between the two.
After I was finished, I disabled the wireless connection again. My dial-up networking connection disappeared from the Network Connections folder, and it's shortcut icon on desktop disappeared. It still showed in IE Intenet Options, and I could dial-up from there, but when I did, no computer icons appear in the taskbar, leaving me no way to disconnect except by pulling the phone cord............
almost every day my internet explorer shortcut disappears from my desktop. I can do a search and retreve it but then it disapers some other day.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHP Pavilion 6835 - OS Windows XP Home Ed.I'm still on a modem access to the internet ( yes it's true ) Lately when I connect to the internet or to check email the little blinking phone icon doesn't appear on the task bar or it may show up at first but then go away after I'm online for a while. I am online and have no trouble surfing the web but it seems my computer doesn't know I'm online. When I right click on my ISP service provider icon on the desk top it shows me an option to "Connect" but I'm already connected. The only way I can disconnect is to put the machine into it's sleepo or idle mode.
View 8 Replies View RelatedThe weirdest things are happening on my pc My Local disk C and D has moved right to the bottom of the list in My Computer. Nothing is wrong with them, I can access them , but they just decided one day to move to the bottom of the list. Where can I move them back to where they belong, naughty drives. And don't know if this might be related to the same little problem, but my internet connection disappears every now and then.
I can't find it anywhere, have to reboot to get it back. By this i mean the actual icon to connect to the internet.
It's not even in my network places. I run DSL, but have set it up so I connect as if it was dial up ( so I can connect and disconnect as i please) It's been happening more and more often, sometimes I have to reboot two times in a row to get it to come back, most annoying.
when I click on an icon, say 'My Computer' on the desktop, everything but the background picture disappears, then comes back, but 'My Compute'r is not open. I'll click again and it opens. This happens if I open a program with a single click from the lower tool bar area also. I've noticed the screen will flicker once, after which invariably this situation occurs. I recently dumped and reinstalled Firefox, but before that I opened it one day and there was a one inch high field with some message I've since forgotten at the bottom of the window, and the Google logo, etc. was all shifted to the right. It's then that I reinstalled Firefox.

View 5 Replies View RelatedTwo AVG icons were in the tray - the normal one and one that said it was scanning - which was constant. I searched and found an answer to someone else's problem which was to exit the "normal" one and both would disappear. They did but the AVG icon is completely gone from the tray. I thought it would re-appear on its own.I can run it from the desktop icon but I'd like it back in the tray.

My mother has recently had problems with her pc and i wont bore you with the details but I've managed to sort it out and it seems to be running fine now.However the network connection icon has disappeared. (the 2 little flashing computer screens inthe bottom right hand corner near the clock) The trouble is she uses these to disconnect from the internet and at the moment restarts her computer each time she wants to disconnect.Its driving me nuts trying to find the right menu to turn them back on and I'm probably being blind.If someone could give me some info it would be most appreciated by me and my mum. She's running XP professional and has not yet installed service pack 2.
View 8 Replies View RelatedThis pc is running xp pro and connected directly to a dsl router. I have two icons in the taskbar one is 'local area connection' as normal. However the second is labeled 'internet connection'. When i double click on it the click on properties, "This connection allows you to connect to the internet through a shared connection on another computer".There is one other in the building connecting to the internet - but theres not meant to be any inter-pc networking going on.In the meantime - since first discovering the above - when i now click on 'internet connection' it wont display.
