Sound does not work on the computer and the volume icon does not appear in the system tray.

• All the sounds that are specifically related to the Microsoft system works not-missing the system tray volume control and Accessories Entertainment empty folder.

  I have no volume control icon in the system tray and my Accessories Entertainment folder is empty.  I can play the sound through iTunes and VLC media player but is no longer the Player Windows Media can play CDs or mp3 files.  I have more Microsoft system sounds and the sounds of a large number of online streaming sites no longer play unless I can their route via iTunes or VLC media player.  Windows Media Player says missing codecs if I try to play mp3 files.  I have upgraded to Windows Media Player 11 to see if that would bring codecs, but without any result.

  My problems were not related to the missing CODECS.

  I knew the sound on my system was basically correct, given that I was able to listen to free VLC Player I downloaded to replace the Windows Media Player while he was not working.

  However, the solution to my problem of noise was really simple, but the answer was just very complicated track.

  I noticed that a lot of the chatter about similar problems on other forums was related to Adobe Flash Player.

  I had recently upgraded to the latest versions all Adobe products on my system.  I didn't make the connection that Adobe software could affect all the sounds of Microsoft.

  Finally, after doing a Google search on Adobe Flash Player issues, I found a partial solution:

  Here's an exact quote:

  Very well, the problem is really the wavemapper mapping in the registry of Windows such as reported by a member of the forum.

  All you have to do is to open the registry editor by going to start menu, run, type regedit, then Enter.
  After that, in Registry Editor, navigate yourself in the left pane until you reach

  My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32

  And then in the pane, right-click and click New, select string value, enter "wavemapper" (without the quotes, of course), ENTER, enter "msacm32.drv".
  Come in.

  Well, of course, it didn't work the first time. I received this message:

  the Registry Editor cannot rename the new value #1. The specified value name already exists. Type another name and try again
  
  I was puzzled for a while, until I saw someone in the forum with a similar problem mentioned that they had found a fix for this problem by granting permissions subkey. This led me to Google search for registry permissions.

  After that here, that's what I had to do, and although it seems that a lot of steps, it's really very simple:

  Once I had reached the drivers32 registry entry I pointed out the entry in the right pane. Mine said (default) REG_SZ (value not set). I then clicked on change on the Bar Menu and clicked on permissions on the menu drop down.

  This opens the permissions for Drivers32. I highlighted at the entrance of the Administration and click the Advanced button.

  This opens the "Advanced Drivers32 security settings. I made sure that I was under the permissions tab in this window. I noticed that the box called "inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here"was checked. Yet once, I did ensure that the entrance of the Administration has been highlighted and then I clicked on the button change.

  This opens the "permission for Drivers32 entry. I chose "this key and subkeys" apply to: falling to the bottom of this window. Then, I checked the full control checkbox. I clicked on OK.

  I clicked on apply advanced Drivers32 window security settings.

  I clicked on apply permissions for Drivers32 window.

  Once that I had done it all a lot more entries appeared in the right pane for Drivers32 including my wavemapper entry. This is where all along; Quite simply, there is not all the permissions to do anything, including being in the registry pane.

  I left the registry and now all my sounds are back and the volume icon is once again in my system tray. Who would have thought?

  Hope this helps someone else.

  Original title: I need help

  Hello Grama,

  Your computer must have an account that is an administrator level. That said, that you can create a standard account, or change the administrator account to a standard account from the control panel by selecting user accounts. When this window opens, it will offer you the choice to create a new account or changing your account existing. The choice is yours, but as I said at the beginning, you need 1 Administrator account.

  Post here any questions and let me know how you fare.

  Photoshop (or other previously installed applications) can still be opened by double click on a PSD, or finding the individual executable, but even in this case, CC does not appear in the system tray.  So, cannot use cloud or add other applications, etc.

  Any help would be appreciated

  Reinstall from the original with the original serial number disks. There is a good chance it will work. If she says "too many activations", you must contact Adobe.

  Please be aware that this is a public forum and all information that you post can be seen by the world. It's often a bad idea to post the serial numbers, because they can be stolen and Rob you of what you paid for. (Less a matter of concern for the machine numbers, but a real problem for the software). There is nothing that we can do your series of Sony or the serial number, only Sony could use it.

• 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.

• 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)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/genuine/diag/

  enable to download ActiveX and validate windows

  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.

• 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.

  Volume icon is not displayed in the notification area, and you may receive an error message when you try to add

   http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/319095

   

  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.
