• How can I permanently delete an icon from the notification area?

  Whenever I start an icon composed of the white black '9' in a field number appears in the Notification area of my desktop tool bar.

  Whenever I start, I have 'customize' on the toolbar and "hide" icon.  It always comes back.

  Apparently, it has no function.  Make a right click on it, in the hope of finding an option 'discard', produces no response.

  My OS is Windows Vista 64 bit Home Premium edition.

• How to increase the size of the icons in the notification area (lower right corner of the XP taskbar)

  For some reason when I booted up my laptop, the icons were tiny and too small for my eyes. I think it was related to the installation of TestOut LabSim software on the laptop, because I noticed that the problem after doing so.

  I was not yet aware that it was possible to adjut the size fo the icons in the notification area. All the links I found affect the icons in the start menu, or quick launch menu, but not the notification area.
  The notification area is now two-lines, if it used only one, but the size of the taskbar has not changed. My DPI settings are always set to 'large '. The display resolution is unchanged.

  The thing where you right-click the taskbar, choose 'Properties', then click on "Start menu", then customize, then choosing "large icons" is only the start, not the notification area menu. It is also already on large icons.
  In addition, the thing where you right click on the Quick Launch bar and ends by choose "large icons" affects only the Quick Launch bar, not the right notification icons.

  http://www.Flickr.com/photos/10736018@N05/5876069573/sizes/l/in/photostream/

  How do I do the large icons again so I can actually see them? My eyes are not more perfect, and I would rather not be squinting when using my laptop. I think seriously increase the DPI to 150% in its current form.

  Hi bhermance,

  Method 1

  Try the steps mentioned below and see if it helps.

  one) to open display, click Start, click Control Panel, click appearance and themes, and then click display.

  (b) click on the appearance tab, then Advanced.

  (c) now select buttons of legend in the list of items and increase the size.

  (d) click OK and apply

  Check if that helps.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you uninstall TestOut LabSim software of the computer and check if it helps.

• Missing icons in the notification area

  The only icons in the notification area are Microsoft Security Essentials and the clock. How can I get the default icons (especially ' remove hardware safely') to appear?

  It wasn't the problem. But I did a ggogle search and found many others have had the same problem of lack of icons in the notification area, the solution was a small script that change a line in the registry, and the problem is solved. The problem has been apparently related to start several programs at the same time when the computer is turned on.

  Windows Defender Version: 1.1.1600.0
  Engine version: 1.1.4803.0
  Definition Version: 1.61.1700.0
  Internet Security Suite: ZoneAlarm 8.0.400.020.

  This icon has disappeared a long time ago and I don't do that now something to this subject.  I think that Windows Defender actually starts and runs in the background on boot-up top (I could be wrong here) but the icon does not appear in the system tray and MSASCui.exe does not appear in the processes tab unless I manually start Windows Defender after each reboot.

  Any assistance in obtaining the Windows Defender icon to always appear in the system tray after every reboot will be greatly appreciated.

  I thank in advance.

• Its icon does not appear in the notification area - no audio device is installed

  NO INSTALLED AUDIO DEVICE & NO SOUND, VIDEO & GAME CONTROLLER NOT TAB ON DEVICE MANAGER

  I had some problems with the sound on my laptop... sometimes the volume icon will suddenly disappear from the notification area and I can not add it even because it is grayed off the coast, unless I restarted my laptop... and after an automatic Windows Update I suddenly got errors on my sound whenever I play a game and try to mute it. After that, the volume in the notification area icon got a red X and it had the "NO AUDIO DEVICE IS INSTALLED" message!

  I tried everything I found on the net without success. I can't even enable or disable my audio driver because I have NOT any how 'audio, video controller & game' tab on my DEVICE MANAGER! I can't uninstall & re-install my drivers either because it would not uninstall first, even in safe mode. Reinstall the driver will give me an error message saying "No. MEDIA FOUND to this DEVICE DRIVER" !

  I also tried to reformat my laptop and goes back to factory settings, restore my system to a point where I wasn't having problems still, it reboot several times, always check the Device Manager if somehow the tab for its controller will magically appear and try several times to reinstall my driver... This gave me No. SOLUTION !

  I don't know what to do more and forums on other sites do no help either. I don't want to dirty my registry for fear of totally play my laptop.

  HOW can I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? I just got windows update and not only I have problems with the audio on my laptop but I can't play games on facebook either!

  Hi Annetalla,

  You can uninstall the current sound driver from Device Manager and restart the computer to load the generic driver and check if it makes a difference.

  1. click on Start.

  2. type devmgmt. msc in the search box start and press to enter.

  3. right click on the speaker and select Uninstall.

  4 restart the computer, and vista will load the generic drivers.

  If an audio device on board, you will see the option in the BIOS. To do this, you need to read the manual that came with your computer or contact the manufacturer for this.

• Can no longer see the network icon in the notification area...

  OK, if one day I had an update alert Active on the lower right corner of my screen of my laptop. It was to download the new version of AIM-we said that your update is available, or something like that. I clicked on 'Install now' and went through the process with the GOAL. When I arrived at the end of the process, he said that everything was installed and I'm ready to go. Then when I restarted my computer, nothing has changed in GOAL it was always exactly the same as it was before I tried to install the software and my Internet connection / network connection icon is missing from the notification area next to where the time is displayed.

  I searched and searched through my computer trying to turn it back on right click on the bar tasks then go to the menu to set the network connection icon to 'active' again, but he wasn't there. I have no idea how to do to reactivate it, and I need in my notification area because I would like to know when and what network I'm connected to. I need help! Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you
