HP pavilion dv6: absent the system tray network and Volume icons

Hi all

I have a HP laptop pavilion dv6 and network options and volume are shaded out, when I go to the option to add them to the tray at the bottom right of my screen.

Is there a reason it is grayed out, and how can I bring back?

Thank you

Selena

    and the display of a message in the system tray?

    It would be more a matter of related AWT of JavaFX partner. I don't know much on the system tray, but you might want to look at the documentation behind it all: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/SystemTray.html

  • my computer has two network icons, 1394 and con LAN. Either, especially the icon of LAN began to move to items being passed in the system tray when I start the computer.

    I have a new and strange behavior on my computer. Until recently, the two icons, 1394 connection and LAN icons always used to appear in the whole system tray after the computer has been started. Is no longer the case. Whenever I start the computer, I don't see the icon of LAN but discover that it attributed to items passed. Then I open the properties of the network connection, uncheck 'Show the icon in the system tray', click Apply + OK, then I open the properties, check the box again, click Apply + OK; only the LAN icon is displayed in the system tray. I'd appreciate any help with this problem. The situation is sometimes the reverse case, i.e., LAN icon appears in the system tray, but I find the icon to connect 1394 points ago. I put the properties in the Start Menu, the toolbar always showed.

    Hi ErhanKarabekir,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. You have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    Refer to the article below and try the steps mentioned, check if it helps.

    How to troubleshoot missing network connections icons in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/825826

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails to them it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  • NB200 - Notifications in the system tray area

    Every few seconds I get an annoying popup notification in the system tray area that informs me of the 'blocked events' these are events all IPv4 TCP or UDP. I really want to turn off these notifications, but despite a vast internet searching I can't find out how to do this. I tried the Action Center and tried the obvious firewall settings, but nothing will stop them. I find them very boring.

    I have a 12W NB200 running Windows 7 Home Prmium (a recent update from Windows 7 Starter Edition). -the problem occurs in both versions. Initially, I used installed but uninstalled McAfee security suite and am using 2009 F-secure Internet security suite for which I have a valid license.
    The system is connected wireless to my BT Home hub router and is connected through the homegroup for two PC. The other two computers are connected through ethernet cables to the router and both run on Windows 7 Home Premium with Avira internet security. I don't get the pop-ups on these machines.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    AE

    Which program generates alerts - are you sure its f-secure or would it be the widows firewall or mcafee? I don't know anything about f-secure (other than I couldn't find a manual 2009 on their website), but I would say that it will keep a diary of events and when you get close to the 'variant' that appears (and I expect clears) you will also find an option on the display of the event.

    Re my comment about this program is-are you happy that you have removed any trace of mcafee? Have you run msconfig and looked at the services and startup for any trace tabs? Also look in the Manager of tasks for all traces: in the services tab, click description to sort and search for mcafee from the similar description in the process but I think that you would have never had 1 entry of mcafee.

    I think that this should have been the first para. Have you created/modified the firewall rules? The log file must provide the ip address of the event source and which is in the range of ip addresses of your network domestic? and since you are a bt customer internet you have a bt vision pvr and who is the source?

  • HP Envy 5660: yellow triangle in the system tray

    I have a yellow triangle that appears at the bottom right of my screen - in the system tray - on top of the blue question mark HP.   I can't get rid of it.   It's the same thing every time - there are two errors (Windows and iOS) telling me that my printer is not on the network.

    My printer works fine.   It will scan, copy, print, and send emails.   It is not a problem.   It is true that I turn it off for several days at a time, but I don't like to waste energy.

    I followed the instructions in the Windows message three times.   The triangle back in an hour or a day.   I do not receive messages on iOS, because I use this system on a Windows computer.

    This triangle is present - continuous - for the last six weeks, I just tried to ignore it, because there seems to be nothing wrong with the computer and a diagnostic printout tells me the e-mail address computers and said that things are fine.   The way I use my printer, it works fine!

    I just want to lose the triangle!
