  Hello

  I cannot select an option to right click on an icon to the taskbar, the menu will disappear when I move the mouse pointer.
  I can choose a menu when I let the pointer over the icon and the menu with view of the application and the close button.

• My office and the taskbar icons keep disappearing.

  Whenever I turn on my computer, my desktop icons and the taskbar disappear when I click on them.

  I want to assure you that I do not understand what you wrote...

  When you start your computer and login to your account, you can see all the icons and the taskbar. Yes?

  But, when "clicked", all the icons and taskbar disappear. Yes?

  If this is your situation, switch Mode without failure.

  Shut down your computer > turn it back on and immediately and repeatedly tab key F8 until you see a black and white screen. The top/down arrow and selectSafe Mode with command prompt.

  The taskbar and icons will stay put in safe mode?
  If so, try the following suggestions: * at the end of each suggestion, check if the problem persists. If so, the following suggestion *.

  1. If you remember a good date when you did not have this problem, do a system restore.
  Choose this good as your restore point date, if you can find that far behind.
  Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish
  To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.

  2. If the above is not enough, do a file system check.

  Start button > Search box type cmd > look up, do a RIGHT click oncmd.exe > click onRun As Administrator > in this window cmd black and white, type at the prompt flashing sfc/scannow > press theENTER key.
  Note: there is a space between 'sfc' and ' / '.
  To sit and wait. It will take time.
  When finished, exit the cmd window.
  Reboot (restart your computer)

  3. create a new user account with the same privileges as your current.
  Logon to this new account. The same problem persists?
  If the problem goes away, then I would say that your old account is corrupted.

  Hi Fernando,

  This problem might have occurred because of these reasons:

  1. Virus.

  Method 1:
  I suggest you virus scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note:

  2) if you run the virus scan of the program which is infected with the virus will be deleted. Therefore, reinstall the program. Also, if files and folders are affected by the virus, while they might even get deleted.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest you to set up the computer in a clean boot state. Setting the system in a clean boot state will help you determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

• Volume shortcut icon has disappeared from the Vista tray

  Volume shortcut icon has disappeared from my status bar at the bottom of the screen... How do I get it back?
  Seems silly, but I can't find it!

  Hello

  Have you checked the settings in the taskbar and Start Menu Properties?
  There should be a tab named Notification area.

  In this tab, you find an option; Hide inactive icons.
  You can turn off (disable) this device or you can customize it.
  In addition, you can choose which icons should be available and shows even the Hide inactive icons option would be activated.

  In some cases, these options may be grayed out
  In this case, you will need to find a registry key:
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \TrayNotify

  and here you have to delete the keys: + IconStreams + and + PastIconStream +.

  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!
