My brand new Dell computer has the wrong time in the system tray. I have checked to make sure that I am in the correct time zone, (pacific time), but it is two hours off. Can I fix this myself or do I have to call Dell?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have XP Home version and have had some unusual issue wth System Restore. When I bring up utilities for system restore, it shows drive I as the system drive instead of drive C.I can sort of understand why this might happen because I installed a new 200 gig drive 5 months ago and made my old C drive I. My system tells me that C is my boot drive and I am not having any real problems except with restore. Looks like something is wrong in restor's database.
View 2 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 5 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 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.

I've searched all over the net to see how I can restore my Task Bar, but to no avail.

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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a ton of program in my system tray (which I've been told means they are running somehow, and presumably using up resources). I'm assuming this might be contributing to the slow speed of my computer. Can anybody tell me how to prevent these programs from starting up whenever I start the computer. Some of them are programs I hardly ever use and I'm sure I could find them to open them if I ever need them. I'm running Windows 2000 Professional.

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