Track down the culprit who resets the customization of system tray in Windows 7

Hi All Almighty,

For awhile, I have problems with my system tray. Something regularly resets my customization, i.e. after reboot, sometimes all of the icons that I've marked to show always are hidden again. I discovered that the reason is something clears HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify.

I decided to find out what's responsible. I turned on the policy of auidt for objects, then I check for HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify installation. The next time that the customization of icons has been reset I found that HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify was allowed again and in addition to this, auditing settings disappeared! So I thought that maybe something just removed the whole key in total with the path audit settings.

My next attempt was to check on HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software and just let Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify inherit. The next time that the customization of icons has been reset I found that HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify was allowed again and in addition to this, auditing settings disappeared again! Something removed all Settings\Software HCU\Software\Classes\Local?

The event log pointed to one of the svchost.exe process, which is simply a container for the heap of different services.

No idea how to find out which service is responsible?

    I get the blue screen with the exception of system Service in Windows 8.  It seems that many people have of it.  I can't use my computer without losing all the data every few minutes.  It is brand new.  Fix?  It often happens with Firefox, but other times too and restarts sometimes when you type an e-mail in the e-mail of Windows 8 program.

    For this recent System_Service_Exception error, if you have an AMD graphics card try the next tool from AMD to try to get the latest graphics driver:

    http://support.AMD.com/us/gpudownload/Windows/pages/auto_detect.aspx

    According to me, a recent update of Windows, maybe the 2778344 which updates win32k.sys to the 6.2.9200.16503 version, could cause a conflict with the AMD graphics driver.

    Many users report the same error recently and so far have all AMD/ATI graphics cards.

    If all goes well the graphic driver update will help.

    If the problem persists, consider uninstalling 2778344.

    Then, at the moment, 'hide' 2778344.

  • How to track down the STP with SG300-52 questions and SG300-28 - the command debug debug mode password?

    Hello *.

    actually, I'm trying to track down and identify serious problems of STP loop to my switch tree SG300-xy.

    For further investigation, I would use the CLI debug mode but unfortunately the

    debugging

    debug mode command is password protected. I always "DEBUG password: *" :-((

    Could someone please help with the password of the SG300-xy switches with 1.3.0.62 firmware debugging it please?

    Thank you very much in advance for your help and your response!

    Best regards
    Matthias

    Hi Matthias, debugging is to engineer end only, it has no practical use.

    Also, if you are unable to go to the debug console, it is unsupported.

    I don't know how you can have a loop spanning trees like the tree covering weight stops redundant links. So I think that you are either using BPMH and incorrectly labeled regions or added a vlan incorrect or these switches connect in a device that is not active PLEASE and causing the transfer of issues like that.

    Quite honestly if you have a loop of network which is so bad, the best thing to do is to unplug the 1 wire at a time until you see what link has caused.

    Upgrades of the OS (as opposed to updates) must be paid for - you must purchase the upgrade.

    Your system may well not run Vista or Win 7 - and MS is no longer selling Vista.

    Hello Jimmie Jr.,

    The problem is that the software or programs that have been created for the previous operating systems such as Windows 95/98/XP have no way to correctly work with an operating system like Windows 7 that did not exist when the programs were written. Windows Vista and Windows 7 have been written on a different kernel of Windows 95 and Windows XP. However, you can try compatibility mode and if this does not work you can try using a virtual machine to run the software. Much of the time the software publisher will publish updates to make old software work with newer operating systems.

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    Use the following steps:

    (1) right click on the program

    2) click Properties

    3) click on the Compatibility tab

    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows XP or other system that the program has been run successfully operating.

    Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    If compatibility is not successful, then try and self-test program compatibility issues:

    1. open the program compatibility problems theStart button.

    Then click on Control Panel. In the search box, typetroubleshooter, then clickTroubleshooting. Under programs, clickRun done for previous versions of Windows.

    2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

    If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.

    If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other software virtualization part 3rd and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Hope this helps you understand better.

  • When you customize my Toobars button I can't get the bookmark toolbar from the drop down menu to stay, it all disappears just once I close the customization window.

    I'm talking about the customizable toolbars button on the right. I opened the window customize, of course the menu bookmark of bown drop-down appears, but there is another bar of bookmarks that I use, which only opens the window on the left on my browser bookmark.

    I want the drop-down button, but it disappears all just once I close the toolbar customization window. It never happened on Win 7, but now on Win XP something does not go.

    There are two buttons of different bookmarks that are using the same image. The one with the small arrow "drop-marker" to the right of the button is to the drop of bookmarks and by default is on the bookmarks toolbar-, but it appears on the toolbar bookmarks only when the menu bar is hidden and the orange Firefox button is visible. If you have the option to menu bookmarks showing on the Menu bar, this button is superfluous.

    The other button bookmarks (without the arrow) starts in the palette to customize and is the one who opens the bookmarks bar.
