• Windows 7 network system tray icon displays "Internet access" when there is none

  I recently had this episodic and deeply frustrating problem with a laptop. Sometimes the internet works, other times not, even if Windows reports that it has access to the internet.   I was wondering if there could be a firewall issue, tried to remove and reinstall the driver of NIC in addition to other things but the problem kept reappearing.  I just managed to find the answer so I hope this will be useful for someone else who feels the same.

  The problem is caused by the Apple Hello service installed by Adobe Creative Suite CS3. It's pretty old now, but I installed it recently because I needed to use one of the applications.    The Bonjour service adds the default gateway 0.0.0.0 and therefore stops the internet access.

  The problem and the solution is given here:

  This site is also very useful:

  The only thing I would add is to run the CLI window with administrative rights so that the commands to run (type "cmd" in the start menu > search and then right-click on cmd.exe to run with admin rights).

• Drop bookmark icon disappeared. Using view > toolbars > customize to add, but it disappears as soon as I click on Done and leave the Customization screen.

  I opened Firefox, and all of a sudden my icon to bookmark on the right side of the screen which opens the menu drop-down disappeared. I keep trying to add it by going to view > toolbars > customize. It appears that in the Customization screen, but once I click done and close the window to customize the icon disappears again. How do I add back and he can stay once I click done?

  Just to clarify what cor - el said earlier, if the classic menu with the bookmarks menu bar, then the toolbar button that does the same thing becomes hidden. He hid before Firefox 23, only when it's on the Navigation toolbar, but now he seems to hide little matter which toolbar it is on.

  If you're in the bar of classic menu for two compact columns (orange Firefox button) menu, then button to the bookmarks toolbar reveals itself. But then if you want the full menu bar you have to press the ALT key, or press F10.

• Windows 7 network icon systems do not show popup connections

  Normally, when you simply right click on the Windows 7 network icon in the system tray, it opens a window showing your connections and available all other connections. Now however, after using the laptop for several hours, and after that unlocks a few Office and a resumption of the mode standby, this no longer works. I click and nothing happens. The only way I can access this is right-click on the icon, open the network and sharing Center then click on "connect or disconnect." It is a pain I need to connect/disconnect continuously different VPN.

  If I re-boot it starts working again. I can't find the exact scenario to make, work stoppage, but it happens regularly.

  Hope there is a fix for this.

  Hello

  Try these but I recommend that you ask in the TechNet forums also as perhaps more

• System in the Systray icons disappear

  System network and Volume icons disappear from the system tray and appear grayed out in the bar of the settings of the properties of tasks. There is a KB post by Microsoft (article 945011). There is an inclusive "fix it for me difficulty. Another article (I can't find at the moment) describes the same thing and provides a registry patch. After you run one, you must stop/restart explorer.exe... articles specify that this will probably cancel the fix, but it will need to be redone... This is the case.

  Why is there a permanent solution to this known issue. It is nothing else than to boring, but indicates an operating system with a bug.

  How and when will this bug permanently fixed?

• wireless system tray icon disappears when the wired connection is present

  When I plug in ethernet, the wireless icon disappears in the system tray.  Sometimes I connect to a Wi - Fi, and at the same time.

  Is there a way to make it stay put?

  Hello

  It is not possible to show the two notification icons when you connect to a Wi - Fi network and at the same time in the system tray.

  When you connect to a wired connection, it will display the wired connection icon and if you connect to the internet wireless, it will display an icon of wireless connection. Both will appear in the same time.

  However if you have connected both cables and wireless Internet, it will show you one of the two icons based on the priority that you have set.

  We can change the priority of the network connections and make them follow an order of desired connection. You can make Windows 8 use wired connection instead of wireless. When you start your laptop, if there is a wireless connection, your Windows laptop will connect to the Wi - Fi connection. Even if you connect to a wired connection, usage will continue to be the Wi - Fi connection. This is because, when more than one network connection is available, Windows uses the one with the lowest metric value.

  To change the priority of network connection, follow the steps.

  a. press the Windows key + C.

  b. Select Search and then type network connections.

  c. now, click the ALT key to open the convening of Menu bar. Click on advanced settings. This will open the properties box.

  d. under the tab cards and links, you will see the list of connection and Windows services related to the order in which they are consulted by network connections and others. The default value is Wi - Fi, Ethernet, and then remote access. The network connections service manages objects in the network and remote access connections folder, in which you can view the local area network and remote connections. Using up and down arrows, you can change their order and set it according to your priorities. When you change the setting as shown above and make Ethernet as first choice, your laptop will use the wired connection first by choice.

  e. click OK and the output.

  Your Windows PC will now follow this order of priority when the detection of the available network connections.

  Hope this information is useful.

• I am running windows xp sp3, the volume icon disappears from the taskbar on each reboot or shutdown/startup.kindly, help any permanent solution known.

  Hello!
  I am running windows xp sp3, the volume icon disappears from the taskbar on each reboot or shutdown/startup.kindly, help with any permanent solution known.i should go to the control panel and to recover it again whenever I turn my on.kindly advice, someone machine me a solution permanently this problem.i want to stay always on the taskbar the volume icon.
  the honest answer is expected... Thank you!

  Hello

  Try this:

  Control Panel - device - sounds Manager - note manufacturer device name and info on the graduating model.
  Double click and get the date and version of the driver (if 06 are dates, you use the default windows driver). Now
  Click the DRIVER UPDATE (this can not find anything because MS is far behind the certification of drivers). Now LAW
  CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Now, go to the manufacturer of the system and recover the last pilot audio/Hi-Fi as a fall.

  Download it - SAVE - go to where you put it - RIGHT CLICK top - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT

  Now do the same for the manufacturer of the device (the one that made the device - if you were using the default windows
  you might need to look in the Device Manager - his new driver).

  Often, you will need to run the sound card drivers several times to get the latest version installed and will appear in
  Manager - Sound. This is because they make back the drivers one at a time and then finally install the
  most recent. Look in the Device Manager to be sure that you have installed the version of the driver is the one showing, if not
  run the driver again (reset each time) until the shows a correct.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Icons disappear and tools/system control panels does not open.

  I have vista running on my laptop (not sure what version because I can't open anything).  Yesterday my icons disappeared and I can't open anything in the control panel or the system tools.  An update installed yesterday, but I don't know what it was.  It is relatively a new laptop.  I just bought this one when my old laptop (also Vista) did the same thing.  I tried the system restore, but I can't open that either.  I'm quite proficient with computers then give me your suggestions - advanced or not.

  If you cannot use the system restore, try this disk to use system restore.

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
