volume missing in system tray windows 7 icon

• 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.

• Power/battery icon missing Windows 7 system tray

  I lost my battery power icon / of the system tray.  I tried a few of the things listed here but is still seems to give me trouble.
  Like many others here, he is grayed and selected to 'off '.  I don't know what to do now.

  I have a laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium.

  I have noticed that at the same time (thinking maybe it's a coincidence) that I deleted Kasperskey and added Norton 360.

  I had this problem on and outside because I had Windows Vista.  This happens not so often now that I have Windows 7.  That's what I'm doing... I open the "Windows Task Manager" by pressing "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" or by pressing 'Shift and Ctrl' keys together, then press "Esc".  Click on the "Processes" tab and "'explorer.exe". " Select it and click "End process" at the bottom.  The taskbar and the whole system tray will be gone, but it's OK.  You will return to the Windows Task Manager.  This time in the 'Applications' tab, click on the button "new task".  Type "explorer.exe".  The sound icons and battery power / will reappear.  I hope this 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

  z

  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.

• Why my system tray showing a new icon and the message "Windows manages this network adapter. Click here to use ProSet/Wireless' when I have a NetGear adapter

  Help!  I'm not a computer guru.

  Today I noticed a new icon in my system tray and when I place my curson on it, I get the message: 'Windows manages the wireless adapter.  Click here to use ProSet/Wireless. "(I have not clicked on the icon so I don't know what would happen if I did.)   I recently downloaded Explorer 8 from the Microsoft site, but except that I have not changed anything with my computer.  I have the NetGear wireless software on my computer, so I was surprised to see ProSet/Wireless.  Also, the ProSet/Wireless will now appear in "programs".  Is it possible that someone is hacking my computer wireless and succeeded in putting the ProSet software? On this subject, or is it something that is connected with Internet Explorer 8?  Either way, I'm running Windows XP and have Norton 360 protection.

  Thanks in advance for your comments.

  What computer brand and model do you have?

  What model Netgear wireless network card?

  It is highly unlikely that anyone who has maliciously installed Intel Pro/Set on your computer (especially considering that he is even not manages your network card).  Also, it is not related to IE 8.  If I had to guess, I assume you have Windows Update configured to install updates "optional equipment" as well as "Critical" updates.  If you do, change this setting.

  Open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK), expand the "Network adapters" section by clicking on the +.  What devices are listed under network adapters?

• My desktop icons and system tray icons are missing!

  It seemed as if an adobe program trying to install an update, and I cancelled it. All of a sudden all my files/desktop icons were missing. If I go to my folder on the desktop, they do not always, show however, if I search for a specific file name I remember from my old desktop files, it will search, still saying its in the desktop folder... What is the problem?  My option for show desktop icons is checked and tried to re - sort icons by grid, etc. Changed the size too. There is an icon that doesn't disappear and it's Internet Explorer.  Help!

  Hi LuvlyLisaLou,

  1. what adobe update was trying to install?

  2. you receive messages or error codes?

  Step 1:

  You can try to run a SFC scan and check.

  This problem may occur if a system file is missing or damaged.

  You can refer to the method-the System File Checker tool in the following article:

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Step 2:

  If you're still having problems, then you can try a system restore to a restore point that you knew the question...

  Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:
