  • Volume icon missing and disabled in the taskbar properties

    I noticed my icons for volume and network of the taskbar for a week and finally decided to try to repair. I checked the properties of the taskbar and found volume and network selections have been disabled. So I rebooted.  Now I have the clock and network icons, but no battery icon and I don't always have the sound icon (which was the one I wanted) and these two are disabled in the taskbar properties. Any advice on how to reactivate these icons? I have Vista and I am currently on updates.

  • icons missing from the notification area on the taskbar (the path below the screen) - the volume icon disappeared and arrow to show/hide icons disappeared

    The icons in the notification area of the bar (on the side of the lower right of the desktop) tasks are not all there.  The speaker/volume icon is over now and the arrow next to the notification (to show and hide icons) area has also disappeared.  I have not changed anything on the computer.  I tried to restart but it did not help.  No idea why this would suddenly disappear and how to get it back?

    Have you tried right clicking on an empty area of the taskbar, properties tab and taskbar by selecting it and then pressing the button customize section Notification area?

  • Volumer icon missing blackBerry Smartphones

    I recently let my brother use my phone and long story short when he gave it back I was missing the volume icon.  I can't get it back.  I can only go to vibrate through the square key.  If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

    See if it is hidden. From the main screen hold down your ALT key, then click on an icon and choose Show all. See if you see your profiles icon then. If you do just ALT + click on it and uncheck Hide

    Alternatively you can try to reset the theme. Go to Options | Theme. Of in this screen, press the menu key, and then choose Reset default theme.

  • Can not adjust the volume unless I go to control panel - volume icon missing

    My volume icons disappeared from the notification (lower-right) area and I can't adjust my volume levels of my office (I have to go to the control panel every time).  When I right click to change the properties of the notification bar, the box next to volume under the "always show icon" is not Hi-limited and will not let me choose to always display of the volume icon.  What can I do else?

    This has been known to solve the problem for some. No guarantee, but it is safe and it is much much easier than this... just print first, then follow the instructions. Takes two minutes :)

How can I get that back?  I went to the selected menu on the task bar and start Control Panel configuration-on the notification area, it shows that I have the clock, network and power icons.

  • I have flashing lights and impossible to turn on or off.

    I have flashing lights and can't turn on or off.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi P a-t

    I understand that you have lights flashing and the printer will not turn on or off.

    I'd do a power reset to see if that will solve the problem. When the printer is still lit, disconnect the power cable to the back of the printer, if the printer has external power supply with a detachable power cord unplug for 15 seconds and reconnect it. Then, disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet. Wait 10 seconds and reconnect the power cable to the wall outlet first, then the back of the printer and turn on again.

    Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector)

    Please provide the following information so that I can better help you.

    What operating system do you use?
    Here is a document to your operating system Windows.

    Here is a document to verify your operating system Mac.

    Please provide the name and the product number of your printer.
