  The wireless icon in the taskbar notification area has been replaced by the wireframe icon.  Since I always use the Xe off wired connection wireless connection isn't helping.  How to bring back the wireless notification icon?

  The switch is on and without thread is working but I don't know until I try to connect a place - and wants to get rid of the ed - X on the icon.  But oddly - the wireless icon won't appear again.   So I worry about this unless it disappears again.

• Problems with wireless USB adapter. Icon missing "Wireless network connection".

  I recently got a laptop HD malfunction cause me to start my PC from 2004. I bought a Belkin N150 Wireless USB adapter to connect to the internet connectivity. During the installation, I do not get a "Wireless network connection" icon I am running Windows XP SP3. I installed the same USB adapter on a computer running Windows XP SP2 and it works fine. I plugged it in my desktop PC and it just doesn't work! Even with my router disconnected I should still be able to see other networks WiFi available in the range (I live in a community of apartment) as he worked on the other computer it elsewhere too. I double checked the drivers, reboot the cable modem, so that appropriate services were activated and still no dice. I have read forums and I'm almost at the point of paying MS for technical support services, but it's really just my last step before I shell out money for professional help. Notice to lovers? =)

  Hello

  Well, at this point, you should make an executive decision.

  If you think that someone will take just guilt because it's comfortable, it is not going to happen.

  If a new card that is known to work does not work, then you can try to re - install Windows.

  One of the differences between computer enthusiasts and regular users is the availability of the material. I have a set of wireless router, network cards, etc. that are known to be good.

  The components are used for the sole purpose of trying them temporarily on the troubled computers to rule out hardware problems.

• Icon 'Remove hardware safely' is missing from the notification area

  I just reinstalled Win7 X 64 business but found that the icon 'Remove hardware safely' is missing from the notification area when I plug a USB key or external HARD drive (they don't work either by the way, I can view files in them no problem), I tried the solution of workaround suggested in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/safely-remove-hardware-icon-missing-and-cant-eject/e9fda0a2-c308-4853-bf1d-a3926ff0fcd1?page=1&tm=1299855382970#footer , but it does not resolve the issue, I don't see the USB stick or external HARD disk in the dialog 'remove hardware safely '. The only way I can eject a USB device is click on the drive in windows Explorer and select "eject" while even "eject" is not available for an external HARD drive

• systray icon missing after login

  After connecting the VPN Client on Windows XP 5.0.00.0340 to a safety device, the VPN-Client window is reduced in the taskbar. Other laptop, I have a systray icon. How can I changed it to have too much in the systray?

  Could you set logging 3 - high on the GUI.

  Do you see something like that?

  Failed to load the icon.

  There are several old bugs related to this:

  And here's one: CSCed84982

  No padlock icon appears in the interface graph of the VPN Client user when the connection entry name has a space on the left. This seems to be a cosmetic problem. The VPN connection is established. The padlock icon in the systray.

  Since you mentioned that other laptop see the icon, I suggest to reinstall the VPN Client or even upgrade to 5.0.04.0300.

• Program icons missing on the Vista Start Menu, all programs there, but the icons are hidden

  I use a PC running Vista 32.

  When you click on the start icon (circle of windows) I see a lot of white space (where the icons should be) then at the bottom it says all programs with an arrow. When I click on this all programs with arrow icons appear, but I normally click here to see the show. Do not know what happened...
  Appreciate any help.
  I should mention I tried to go to properties to customize the start menu and clicked on default settings, but it does not work.

• Satellite L300 Wireless icon has the Cross Red but connected - SOLUTION

  Satellite L300. Home Premium Windows 7 32.

  Updated the wireless driver Atheros to the download area of Toshiba (the newest driver released on 11/27/11). After the reboot, the icon in the notification area wireless shows with red cross through it even if it is connected. Not a big deal but annoying.

  Corrected by:
  (Note: you must take note of your routers WEP key before doing this and if SSID is not it broadcasts)

  1. go on the network and sharing Center
  2. click on manage networks wireless on the left-hand menu
  3. highlight your connection and remove it.
  4. stop and restart the network connections service (to go to the Services console right-click on computer in the start menu and click on manage.) Expand Services and Applications, click Services).
  5. reconnect to your network by choosing from the list of available and entering the WEP key (or use him manually add... option if you must enter the SSID).
  6. If still the same then restart and reconnect to your network.

  Worked for me.

  Alternatively you can try of course to roll back to the old driver.

  Thank you much for sharing this info with us!
  Perhaps, it might be useful to other people here in the forum!

• Yellow ' dot/star' on my internet (signal strength bar) icon in the systray.

  Original title: yellow dot on the wireless icon

  I have a yellow dot, or more specifically a yellow star on my internet (signal strength bar) icon in the systray. The weird part is that I seem to have a complete internet service. What is this and how do I get rid of him. (If all you have is a solution, it is fine, also.) The weird part is that, if the computer has served for a long time, she disappears.

  Thanks in advance.

  Please post your query as a new question that this problem has been resolved.

  Control Panel open folder, on the view tab Options, uncheck "Hide operating system files (recommended)" protected", click apply/OK. Now, go to Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) and go to the C:\Windows\System32\dllcache folder and open it. Locate the sndvol32.exe file right click, choose copy. Then go to the C:\Windows\System32 folder, and then open it. In the right pane right click on a box empty and select Paste. Now you should have your back volume icon. If not go back to control panel > sounds > make sure that there is a check mark in the box to display the sound icon in the system tray.
