Its icon on the taskbar

I have Windows Vista. I got my PC in the shop for repairs. When I got back my sound icon was no longer in the taskbar. I can't seem to figure how to get it back if I can change the volume quickly and easily

  • Its icon on the taskbar is not displayed

    Hello!

    Just today my laptop does not show an icon on the taskbar sound as it usually does. If you see in the right corner it usually an icon of the right? but mine is gone?
    Can you help me how to get it back?

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    You can still hear sound on speakers? If so the only problem could be the disabled sound icon in the taskbar. Therefore, go to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification icons of the region. Make sure that the volume icon is not disabled and it will always be displayed in the taskbar.

    If you can t hear you should check the Device Manager. The sound card is listed in the Device Manager?
    If this isn't the case, you must reinstall the audio driver no doubt. You can download the driver from his most recent official website of Toshiba:

  • No its icon in the taskbar

    I lost my sound icon in the taskbar. After that I reinstalled IE8

    I tried to put it in sounds and devices, but get the error message "program not installed."

    I don't have XP CD as it has been preloaded.

    This could very well be the result of a corrupted or even no sound driver. It could also be the result of a damaged file sndvol32.exe or missing. If your audio driver, replacement update does not resolve the question download sndvol32.exe from HERE. Save the file to X:\Windows\system32 folder. (Note x represents the letter of your first drive usually C:\). When you place the file in the folder that you may be prompted to replace an existing file. Click Yes. Restart the computer.

  • Pavilion P6207c: Hp mediasmart empty icon in the taskbar and icon missing in hp dock

    I restarted my computer and my HP Mediasmart icon in the taskbar is empty, when I click on it windows says it can't open because that its been moved, renamed or deleted. But the show task up if I right click on it like watch a dvd, listen to mp3's, see, modify or download photos, see modify or download videos. (all links in the task too much work) Then trying to understand the problem, that I thought I could basically icon/link to pull a bit of my HP Dock in the taskbar hoping it would be duplicate and appear in the taskbar. But to the contrary after leaving the dock and release the mouse button, it disappeared. How do I trouble the white icon and pick up the other icon in the dock? I pulled the HP Mediasmart icon directory .exe file and it is stuck in the dock, but it works the same. The original had an arrow below and if I clicked it, a drop-down list with all tasks would come down. With that I pulled from the directory that I have to click on it and then a new bar appears with different icons for each task.

    Well I solved the problem with the taskbar, I downloaded the hp mediasmart smartmenu, went into the directory and PIN to the taskbar. But I still can't one of the docking station will work as before.

    @enimen2 ,

    Hi and thanks again for the rear display.  If you can do it is no longer a restoration following options is a complete recovery of the system, return to the original configuration.  You want to back up all your information before you do.  Once it starts it will wipe your system clean.

    Here is a link that will help you to recovery.

  • How can I add the weather icon to the taskbar to be next to the time?

    Try as I might, I can't figure this out.  I would like to add the weather icon to the taskbar.  I want it to be next to the time, so it is always displayed.  How can I do this?  I also want to remove some of the icons that appear in the part of the notification of the taskbar.  Yet once, I can't do it.

    To add items to the taskbar in Windows XP, do one click right, choose Properties, select "Show quick launch", then OK. Now you can add existing shortcuts to the quick launch area (which is pretty much a location allows you to customize your own shortcuts), or you can right click on the quick launch are to open its 'file', then create new shortcuts to here (right click-> new-> shortcut).

    To remove the part of the taskbar notification icons: If you are indeed referring to the notification area near the clock, try right-clicking on the icon and look for an option to delete/remove/disable. Not all icons will have such an option. Additional details on the notification in Windows XP bar can be found here. If you are actually referring to quick launch (next), and then activate it as I've described in the paragraph above, then you should be able with the right button and then remove them.

  • When I start the computer, sometimes the icon in the taskbar indicates that it is connected to a network that is not identified. I wait a few minutes until what he says at last he is identified & seems to work very well.

    Original title: Internet wireless connection

    I use a PC & a cable modem wireless to connect to the Internet.  When I start the computer, sometimes the icon in the taskbar indicates that it is connected to a network that is not identified.  I wait a few minutes until what he says at last he is identified & seems to work very well.  The only other issue I see is once in a while after it is connected, I noticed that it is to identify the network connection, but I see no problem to surf the web.  This could be a looming problem with the modem, or is it something else?  Should I consider it as my modem is still under warranty?  ARRIS / Motorola wants to charge a diagnostic fee is why I write on this forum first.

    Thank you

  • Unity Mode - icons in the taskbar on the host do not work as expected for some applications

    In Unity mode, the icons in the taskbar on the host computer do not work as expected for some applications. The following problems may occur:

    1. several icons for a single application.

    2 aero Peek does not work if the application is reduced.

    3 icon moves to the end of the task bar after restoration of the collapsed state.

    These problems make it difficult to work in Unity mode. Here are some details about my setup:

    VMware Workstations Version: 7.0.1 build 227600

    Host: Windows 7 64-bit (all updates applied)

    Client: Windows XP (all updates applied)

    Steps on how to reproduce the issue n ° 1:

    1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

    2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

    3. minimize and optimize Visual Studio 2003. Finally, you should see several icons, each with a different air look.

    When this happens, you can maximize is more than a simple click (as there are a stacked icons). Sometimes, only one of the icons to display Visual Studio 2003 (when testing this now, the other icon displays a portion of the Office of comments). If multiple copies of Visual Studio 2003 are launched, it is difficult to know who is who.

    Procedure reproduce problem 2:

    1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

    2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

    3 minimize Visual Studio 2003.

    4. place the cursor on the icon. You should see the icon in Aero Peek (similar to the Aero Peek look when you use Microsoft Windows XP Mode).

    Aero Peek works great for other applications reduced, such as Windows Explorer.

    Steps on how to reproduce the issue n ° 3:

    1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

    2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

    3. start Windows Explorer in the start menu of the unit.

    4 to minimize Visual Studio 2003.

    5 optimize Visual Studio 2003. The icon disappears briefly and then displayed in a different location (to the right of the icon in Windows Explorer).

    I guess that these issues will eventually with the similar Microsoft products such as SQL Server Management Studio, newer versions of Visual Studio, Microsoft Office (I guess just--I have not tried other programs).

    These questions, it is very difficult to use Visual Studio 2003 in Unity Mode, which is the main application, I need to use the virtual machine. I would love to see these issue fixed.

    Kind regards

    Tim

    Hi Tim, this behavior all boils down to the fact that when you reduce the VS, is not to minimize as windows normally do. VS hides the main window, and then returns to the window in the reduced state.  When the host sees the window becomes hidden, she removes the button from the taskbar to the window of the unit; There is no way of knowing that the window will be re-shown again later.  The thumbnail Aero does not work for the reduced window because the host never saw this window in its normal state, so that the host knows not what are the contents of the window.

    The good news is that you can work around the button behavior of taskbar in Workstation 7.1 by pinning the window VS. In this way, the taskbar button will always be there no matter how many times the window of the unit is shown/hidden. It will not solve the problem of thumb nail, however.

  • 10.0 Firefox now creates a new icon on the taskbar of Windows 7 whn launched. Why?

    With earlier versions of Firefox on Windows 7, I got 1 icon on the task bar and I would stay at this icon to go to the program. Now, at the launch of Firefox, that it creates an icon on the taskbar and it is confusing, because I'm used to return to the original icon, except that now it opens a new session of Firefox that I don't want. How to return to 1 icon?

    After clicking on the favorite taskbar icon and firefox opens a "new Session".
    DETACH the old icon and the PIN, then the "New Session" icon.

    Then from this point on 1 single icon will appear in the taskbar.

    After the 4.0.1 update, Windows now creates a new icon in the taskbar instead of activate one who is already pinned there. This does not happen on other computers I've used.

  • Flahsing Excel icon on the taskbar

    I use the report generation tool.  When I open and close a workbook, the flahses of excel icon in the taskbar.  How can I get rid of this?  Thank you!

    You can set the 'visible' reference applications Excel to "False".

    I generally do not use screws report generation, so I hope that you need to change one that opens the reference app Excel and save it under a different name.  I almost always interact with Excel directly using ActiveX, so I do not know what VI you will have to change.

  • Advertising, freezing the icons on the taskbar

    I have a laptop G7. I get this pop up telling me I need to upgrade to flash player pro. I click it off and then it freezes the icons on the taskbar. Those on the office work. I have the icon of chrome from google on this subject or I couldn't get to internet. Any ideas on how to stop this. I can restart the computer and it isn't there and they work until I get on the internet and it appears again and then he freezer them again. I don't want or need the pro version.

    Hi nana4c,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it's a great place to find answers. You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I understand that, after connecting to the Internet, you get a popup telling you that you need to update Flash Player Pro and you click out of it.  Once you have done this, freeze your task bar icons, but continue to work your desktop icons. You have Google Chrome on your desktop and are able to access the Internet after that happens.

    What browser do you initially use to access the Internet?  Try starting with one another, if you do not have the same problem, I suggest to uninstall and reinstall this browser at the origin of the problem.

    If you get the same result with another browser, try the following steps.

    Go to the command prompt and do a right click on it and select run as administrator

    Type sfc/scannow, and then press on enter

    It will look for corrupted files and try to fix them.

    I hope this has helped.
