I would like to see all of the icons in the system tray. Right now there are 8 icons showing with 2 little arrows indicating that there are more icons to see if I position the cursor over the arrows. Is there a way to make all of the icons be seen?
View 4 RepliesI'm currently ruing Win XP Pro on my PC. When I installed the system, I only allocated 20GB for the system partition. As time goes and installation appls, the system drive disk space only has 15% disk space left. I have another 10GB partition (d: drive) which has become available but it resides on a separate physical hard disk.The only option that I can think of is to uninstall the appls and reinstall it on this spare drive to free up disk space on system drive. It involves quite bit of work which I do not wish to do if and only if this is the only solution.Can I expand the system drive to include this "D:" as part of the system drive(single logical partition).
View 16 Replies View RelatedI am running Win XP Pro with SP2 (standard setup). The problem: A couple of the icons in the system tray don't show up on re-boot. Specifically, the 'safely remove hardware' icon, and a backup utility called 'second copy' that runs on startup. When I 'restore' to the exact same point, everything is fine. When I reboot, gone again. And when they are gone, I can't run the backup utility (it won't start). What is different about the restore utility that makes it work if I restore to the same exact point. This all started with I tried to uninstall and reinstall Norton Utilities (which seems to be working fine).
View 8 Replies View Relatedwhen the system boots, many of the icons do not appear in the system tray. most of the time, only the Mcafee security center is running in the system tray, and the wireless network and local area connection icons are there, with nothing else appearing. what should appear is the battery meter icon (thats probably the most annoying thing), the volume icon, AVG free edition, nokia pc suite, dell quickset, dell support, microsoft spyware, and the winamp tray icon.

View 17 Replies View RelatedI received a Windows error last night, and since then, I no longer have a system tray. I can't remember what file it mentioned or what I was doing at the time (I was on the brink of being clinically unconscious I was so tired). I recall it possibly being an 'nt' dll file. I turned off the computer last night, not really thinking anything of it, but today, the system tray is still not there. The clock is, but no icons.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just got my Service Pack 2 and tried to install it, but don't have enough free space on my C partition (FAT32 File System type). I have 15.97GB allocated to this partition, but only 698MB is free. Somehow, I have a D: partition that has 39.89GB of which ALL of it is free! So, is there a way, withoutlosing my data and operating system, that I can increase the size of the C: partition and decrease the size of D: partition?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a buddy that told me his computer has slowed down at start up. I told him he has too much in the start up folder and to check misconfig. He told me he has folders in his system tray. I never heard of that. They are his folders and he doesn't know how they got there. Some of his folder had loads of pictures which that alone would make it boot slower.Could a download or a virus do this? He told me he runs Adaware, Spywareblaster and Spybot all the time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Dell XPS 410, running WinXP, has a problem (or at least an annoyance)which seems to be getting worse. Very often -- maybe even most of the time lately -- half or more of my system tray icons fail to appear, even though the programs are running. It's very inconsistent, sometimes it's fine, at worst only 2 or 3 of the expected dozen or so make it. And the whole startup program-loading is really bogging down.I know that it's software related of course, as all is fine when I boot up to my back-up WinXP OS on another partition. But *where* is the glitch? I scan constantly for viruses, trojans, spyware and all, and also keep the registry clean and def ragged.It would be great if any of you might have some ideas for things I should look for, as any day now I'm going to decide to just bite the bullet and do a clean re-install of Windows. Everything's backed up, of course, but it will take days to re-install all the programs and configure everything again.

View 5 Replies View RelatedToday, I noticed two icons that are normally in the system tray are gone. They are the blue battery icon for the laptop battery status, and the Windows volume control speaker icon. Yes,I opened the "Power Options" icon in Windows Control Panel, and under "Power Options Properties/Advanced, the checkbox "Always show icon on the taskbar" is checked. Yet the icon will not show. Same thing for the Windows volume control icon, in Control Panel, I clicked "Sounds and Audio Devices", and on the "Volume" tab, I have checked "Place volume icon in the taskbar", but there's no icon. They were both there yesterday, and I didn't knowlingly change any settings.

Also, the typing in any program became really reallly slow, but I fixed that already.
