Random Taskbar Notification Icons Disappearing

#1 Post by loyukfai » Sat May 24, 2008 12:54 pm

When the system (XP) boots, sometimes all the taskbar notification icons appear. Sometimes one or two will be missing (e.g. sound adjustment; OneNote; eBoostr...)

Sometimes a reboot will fix it, sometimes it won't.

Any idea...? A solution will be appreciated.

They might be hidden. Click the double arrowheads at the left of the taskbar and see if it expands to reveal the other icons.

Thanks for your quick response.

But no, they're not.

I had a similar problem with XP, mainly when coming back from sleep. A reply here directed me towards using Startup Delayer (www.r2.com.au/), which solved my problem.
