After viruses unknown icon in the Notification area: icon = < Untitled >
the virus was the removal of ms tool, but it wasn't the real tool. It turns out that it is a rogue software. who posed as a virus protection software. I did a system restore and downloaded the latest version of avg, I did a scan with avg, it did not find anything, which leads me to believe in the restoration of the system worked; However, I have this icon remaining. When you click the icon of tire just my computer. any reflection on what the icon is or how to get rid of?
I'm not sure how to upload a screenshot of the icon. its white with a Red Cross in the lower right corner, it looks like the disney movie wall-e with one eye. I think that its really supposed to be a projector but I thought that the description of wall-e was a better visual image.
Thanks for your help and ideas that you can provide

For some reason when I booted up my laptop, the icons were tiny and too small for my eyes. I think it was related to the installation of TestOut LabSim software on the laptop, because I noticed that the problem after doing so.
I was not yet aware that it was possible to adjut the size fo the icons in the notification area. All the links I found affect the icons in the start menu, or quick launch menu, but not the notification area.
The notification area is now two-lines, if it used only one, but the size of the taskbar has not changed. My DPI settings are always set to 'large '. The display resolution is unchanged.The thing where you right-click the taskbar, choose 'Properties', then click on "Start menu", then customize, then choosing "large icons" is only the start, not the notification area menu. It is also already on large icons.
In addition, the thing where you right click on the Quick Launch bar and ends by choose "large icons" affects only the Quick Launch bar, not the right notification icons.http://www.Flickr.com/photos/10736018@N05/5876069573/sizes/l/in/photostream/
How do I do the large icons again so I can actually see them? My eyes are not more perfect, and I would rather not be squinting when using my laptop. I think seriously increase the DPI to 150% in its current form.
Hi bhermance,
Method 1
Try the steps mentioned below and see if it helps.
one) to open display, click Start, click Control Panel, click appearance and themes, and then click display.
(b) click on the appearance tab, then Advanced.
(c) now select buttons of legend in the list of items and increase the size.
(d) click OK and apply
Check if that helps.
Method 2
If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you uninstall TestOut LabSim software of the computer and check if it helps.

Windows Defender icon in the Notification area
Hello.
Yes, I chose the "Always" button for the Windows Defender icon appear in the notification area. : o).
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium SP2
Internet browser: IE8.0.6001.18783
Windows Defender Version: 1.1.1600.0
Engine version: 1.1.4803.0

Internet Security Suite: ZoneAlarm 8.0.400.020.This icon has disappeared a long time ago and I don't do that now something to this subject. I think that Windows Defender actually starts and runs in the background on boot-up top (I could be wrong here) but the icon does not appear in the system tray and MSASCui.exe does not appear in the processes tab unless I manually start Windows Defender after each reboot.
Any assistance in obtaining the Windows Defender icon to always appear in the system tray after every reboot will be greatly appreciated.
I thank in advance.

Its icon does not appear in the notification area - no audio device is installed
NO INSTALLED AUDIO DEVICE & NO SOUND, VIDEO & GAME CONTROLLER NOT TAB ON DEVICE MANAGER
I had some problems with the sound on my laptop... sometimes the volume icon will suddenly disappear from the notification area and I can not add it even because it is grayed off the coast, unless I restarted my laptop... and after an automatic Windows Update I suddenly got errors on my sound whenever I play a game and try to mute it. After that, the volume in the notification area icon got a red X and it had the "NO AUDIO DEVICE IS INSTALLED" message!
I tried everything I found on the net without success. I can't even enable or disable my audio driver because I have NOT any how 'audio, video controller & game' tab on my DEVICE MANAGER! I can't uninstall & re-install my drivers either because it would not uninstall first, even in safe mode. Reinstall the driver will give me an error message saying "No. MEDIA FOUND to this DEVICE DRIVER" !
I also tried to reformat my laptop and goes back to factory settings, restore my system to a point where I wasn't having problems still, it reboot several times, always check the Device Manager if somehow the tab for its controller will magically appear and try several times to reinstall my driver... This gave me No. SOLUTION !
I don't know what to do more and forums on other sites do no help either. I don't want to dirty my registry for fear of totally play my laptop.
HOW can I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? I just got windows update and not only I have problems with the audio on my laptop but I can't play games on facebook either!
Hi Annetalla,
You can uninstall the current sound driver from Device Manager and restart the computer to load the generic driver and check if it makes a difference.
1. click on Start.
2. type devmgmt. msc in the search box start and press to enter.
3. right click on the speaker and select Uninstall.
4 restart the computer, and vista will load the generic drivers.
If an audio device on board, you will see the option in the BIOS. To do this, you need to read the manual that came with your computer or contact the manufacturer for this.

The sound icon disappeared into the notification area
The sound icon disappeared in the notification area, so can not adjust the volume without having to open the system information. Even after that the restart several times there no re-appeared, grateful for any suggestion. Thanks in advance.
Use this tutorial:
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/106787-notification-area-system-icons.htmlGo directly to the third method,
2. for the Volume icon.
(B) to activate the Volume - icon Enable_Volume.reg< click="" to="">
Then follow the instructions from #5 to #9.
Don't forget to restart the computer to perform the procedures.
Note: If someone you said to disable all Windows applications, using a method first, it's trash.
Go directly to the method three which applies to all versions of Vista, and it is also the simplest method.

The default icon for the program appears in the Notification area when an application places an icon there. You would need to change the default icon.
Contact the manufacturer of that application on how to achieve this.

Try these steps and check if that helps:
** Turn it back on. Sometimes a reboot will solve this problem.* *.
1. close all programs and stop the laptop.
2. remove all power supplies (battery and power cord)
3. empty the remaining power by pressing the power on button for 30 seconds (even if you have no power).
4. put the battery back and start the computer
5. once fully loaded, right-click on the system tray and select Properties.
6. This will bring to the top of the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" dialog box. The "Notification area" tab.
7. at the bottom of the tab, is the area 'icons systems. " There is a checkbox for "Power". "check" the box and click on apply or OK.
Also update your graphics card drivers.
It works! Tanks a lot Johnny D.81!

Missing icons in the notification area
The only icons in the notification area are Microsoft Security Essentials and the clock. How can I get the default icons (especially ' remove hardware safely') to appear?
It wasn't the problem. But I did a ggogle search and found many others have had the same problem of lack of icons in the notification area, the solution was a small script that change a line in the registry, and the problem is solved. The problem has been apparently related to start several programs at the same time when the computer is turned on.
