Jun 10, 2005I know this is a commonly asked question but the fixes I have found online so far have not worked for me. The problem is simple, my systray icons do not show up anymore but the clock does and I cannot access the 'hide inactive icons' check box that is in the properties area of the tray because it is grayed out.

Sep 20, 2006Today, 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.

Nov 25, 2006Two icons have disappeared but occasionally reappear for one or two secessions. I believe this happened after the Microsoft updates early November but that may be just a coincidence. The programs are still running when I check in services and I am just wondering why this is happening. The icons that disappeared are Webroot's Spyweeper and Pure Network's, Network Magic, my network manager program. My system specs are P4 2.8mhz 1024mb ram 160gb hdd running Windows XP Home.

Aug 16, 2009I am running windows xp service pack 3 on an hp desktop and i have recently installed a new wireless card. The network that I am trying to connect to can only be accessed through the use of windows wireless manager. The problem that i am having is that the network icons (both wireless and wired) are missing from the system tray. This wouldnt normally bother me, but one of the steps for connecting requires you to click a bubble that pops up from the wireless network icon. However, no icon = no bubble. I can access my available networks from the network connections folder, but i need those icons in order to finish setup. I have checked the boxes to display the icons in the system tray and I have unchecked the hide unused icons box. I cannot find any solutions online.
View 12 Replies View RelatedRight Clicking System Tray Icons Is Not Working
Aug 1, 2008I have a weird issue (relatively minor one) concerning my system tray on my XP SP3 installation. This has gone on for several months (if not years) now on my custom computer. I am pretty good at computing in general, but this stumps me right now and then! (please view my computing specs if you can see them, if not PM me.)Apparently, whenever I click on any icon in my system tray on the start bar, it will usually show the right click menu for the TASK BAR. Does this make any sense? I wish this would not happen. If anyone knows how to resolve/fix/stop this, please reply to this thread, please. Thanks!!! I am running a genuine (valid) copy of XP SP3, with all updates. I do not run any illegal modifications or otherwise illegitimate software at this time, so that is not the cause of this at all. I swear by the number of hairs on my head, if that is not enough, then the amount of stars in the universe!

1) edit this list
2) make certain icons always display (e.g. ac/battery) but hide others.
System Tray Is Missing Icons Until System Restore'
Sep 2, 2006I 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).

Jan 25, 2006when 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 12 Replies View RelatedUpdating Reconfiguring - Several Service Error - Change Colors
Jul 18, 2005I've had ongoing problems with my 13-day old Gateway with Windows XP, seemingly due to all the updating and reconfiguring it took to get XP to work with older applications and my printer. I've received several service host error report messages, several days ago the sound stopped for no reason (uninstalling Realtek fixed that), and yesterday my backup program stopped working and my colors changed. The desktop turned from teal to yellowish green and the text changed from white to yellowish. A Gateway tech had me do "Big Fix" and nothing changed. He said I have to do a System Restore to get XP back to its original state. Tomorrow is the last day I can return my computer to the store where I bought it. What would cause colors to change by themselves?

Dec 11, 2008I noticed the other day that a couple of my tray icons are missing. I know I didn't uninstall anything or set them to not show. they just stopped appearing. To my knowledge, the ones that I noticed as missing (LogMeIn and DVD43) don't even have settings to hide them. When I go to task manager I can see that they are running in Processes, but there is no way for me to interact with them.
View 3 Replies View RelatedFix For Missing Tray Icons
Jul 6, 2005I have found fix for the missing XP tray Icons on the home page of Tech-pro.net. The solution worked for me just fine as suggested on the web site which was to disable the UPNP using the provided reg file.But that got me thinking that it must be something that does this other then UPNP and I found the actual culprit. This is really dumb but it worked. Open My Network Placers and click on the "Hide icon for networked UPnP devices" located in the Network Task area of this window. If there is "Show icons for networked devices" in this location instead then the problem must be someplace else.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIcons Failing To Turn - Up On Tray
Sep 10, 2008Running XP Pro and SP2. For some reason my icons in my bottom Right hand tray keep losing themselves. The only ones shown are my Wireless Adaptor, Bluetooth and Kaspersky. But when I go to Control Panel, Sounds and Audio devices Properties and turn the icon on and 'apply' etc. all of my missing icons pop up, "sound, wireless connection, cable network connection and safely remove hardware". But when the system is restarted for use at another time, Its back to as described with missing icons. I've been into Control Panel, System Services and down to Universal Plug and Play properties, this was set to "Manual" to which I changed to "Automatic". I did this following a subject at MSN Knowledge. But again starting the system today its just the same. One thing not mentioned, I did a registry clean a few weeks ago, whether someting had changed at that point.
