Power Guard icon repeatedly disappear from the system tray

Original title: WINXP Pro s ver.2002 / SP3.

I have WINXP Pro s ver.2002 / SP3.  The power icon keep disappearing several times from the system tray?  I have restore but when I restart the laptop, they're gone. This also occurs in the Volume icon at the same time. Do not remember what has been loaded or were able to do.  This fine all worked until the day. Now I have to live with almost a one-time problem by sinister using the sound properties and uncheck, Power Options apply and then check, apply the box "Show icon in the taskbar".  I tried some fixes automatic Microsoft (I think) Web site but no real chance in the long term.

Hi JayBregand,

·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

·         Who are the automatic patches from Microsoft have you tried?

Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

Method 1: Try to add the icon again and the Coachman. If the problem persists you can read the following article and check.

Method 2: Create a new profile on the computer and check if the problem persists. If this is not the case, the other profile is corrupt. To create a new user profile, you can see the article mentioned below for the procedure.

  • Update icon is missing from the system tray

    Salvation Windows XP experts,

    My "Automatic Updates" is set on "download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them", but several times I don't get the icon in the system tray, and it is until I want to shud down my laptop when I get the message "click on disable to install important updates and turn off your computer. , and if I work on the batteries, I don't even get this message. Sometimes I change my setting "Notify Me but don't automatically download or install" hoping that icon will appear, but it's not.

    Recently, I have been informed of the 2 updates to download and agreed, but they got downloaded the icon has disappeared... and when I lock my PC, I got this message because I have new updates have been installed, I clicked on the button "turn off". I was surprised when I saw him on the screen saying 1 of 1 updates is being intalled! I pressed the power button until it exploded and then restarted, it, went into the folder Windows to know he was installing the single update, is not one of the 2 updates that I accepted on! What a f * ing system?

    What can I do to see what updates will be installed on my PC?

    Thank you

    Hello

    If I understand well, you have a little problem with the 'automatic update' - in particular with the notification in the system tray icon. The icon does not appear in the system status bar when updates are ready for instalation - does?

    There is a similar but opposite problem - system "Auto update" displays the icon in the system tray – as they may be new updates installed, but the updated window does not update after clicking on the icon in the system tray:

    http://www.eggheadcafe.com/Microsoft/Windows-Update/29682120/Automatic-Update-icon-stay-on-system-tray.aspx

    So, this has been resolved by removing the "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" directory "C:\WINDOWS" folder

    (before deletion was stopped the service "Windows update").

    What you can try:

    (1) this Fix IT (full reset Windows Update components - including registration of libraries, to rename files ...)

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058/en

    2) install the latest version of the Windows Update Agent (for good communication with the WWW of Windows update server)

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949104/en

    3) only recommend - install the latest IE (IE8) (Select language)

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=43

    (4) this Microsoft Genuine Advantage diagnostic (I hope that will be the pages of the SITE in English)

    I confess that I have not read previous answers (PA bear MS MVP) in detail, it is possible that you've already tried this. However, I tried this, if I had similar problems.

  • 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 +.

  • My icons have disappeared from the SysTray

    All icons except time disappeared from my system tray.  A KB (sorry, missed the number) indicated that may result by calling the Hibernate power function.   I didn't exactly, however, under Options of Panel\Power control, the presentations tab, I put "Turn off monitor" and "standby" to "after 1 hour" for a few days. "  All icons except time disappeared.

    After I restore all settings power forever, however, the icons are not returned.

    There are many posts & FAQ on restoring the volume, usually with regard to C:\WIndows\system32\sndvol.32.exe, I think they can refer in case there is no sound at all.  I have the sound and the sndvol32.exe file seems to be good and in the right place (2).

    So I think that my problem is not just the Volume icon, but there is a problem with all the icons, not just volume.

    I also saw the FAQ related to a repair of the problem on "My Network Places" icon, but they have not worked for me.

    There was also a suggestion to install the original Windows XP disc and restore the original files.  In my case, that would mean coming back to SP2.  I have SP3 disk, but I mention it only to point to how 'old', some of these files systen will do.  So, I have to ask:

    • And how about the odd updates 300 listed in my CP/Add and Remove programs?
    • Does not remove the customization settings, that I may have made in the last 4-5 years?  A horrible thought!

    Would appreciate any suggestions

    Would appreciate any suggestions

    Hi Dave,.

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         Are you able to see the icons in safe mode?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Performs a search using the Microsoft safety scanner.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 2: Perform a System Restore and check if the problem persists.

    Method 3: Scan the file system (CFS) auditor to repair corrupted files.

How to restore the icon of the menu display calendar?  Thank you. Robyn

    Thanks for sharing everything you already tried... any information help so avoid redundant orientation.

    Please, dig deeply and carefully on all the home screen panels, subfolders, etc... It is easy to accidentally move an icon to a different location. Also, you dig, please make sure that "Show all" is active, just in case you've hidden inadvertently to the icon.

    Good luck and let us know!

  • How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup?

    How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup on Windows XP folder?

    Hello

    The first step is to identify the program that represents the icon and decide whether it should be in the system tray (most are not necessary). Hold the cursor of the mouse on the icon to see the name of the program that launches the icon.

    The best bet is to click the icon to see if this opens the box of the program options. If so, look for a selection similar to "remove from the system tray.

    Alternatively, you can hide the icons in the system tray.

    Here's how:

    1. right click on the taskbar and select "Properties".

    2. in the "Notification area" click "Hide inactive icons" if she already unchecked and then click on the button "Customize".

    3. click on the ' column next to each of your current behavior and choose one of the three behaviors for each program icon that appears in the system tray: "Hide when it is idle," "Always hide", or "always show".»

    If you hide an icon, but then see it again the next time that you log on to Windows, you may need to uninstall the program to permanently remove the icon. Uninstall the program permanently removes the program from your computer. For more information, see Uninstall or change a program.
