Posted August 25, 200816 yr !Please read message entirely before replying. Thanks so much for your time! Under the "Notification Area" of the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" window, I am unable to check the boxes for my volume icon, network icon, and my power meter icon. These icons just randomly dissappeared when I booted up my computer recently. I have tried rebooting many times, and turning off UAC. When I turned off UAC, I got my battery meter back for that specific time that I was on my computer. I had gotten my network icon back for a period of time but it was gone the next time I booted. I have heard that this may be caused by explorer crashing. I do not believe that my explorer has crashed since I have had SP1. Last time a MVP replied to my post, telling me to restart Explorer in a special way which works untill I restart my computer or come out of standby, then they dissapear so I have to restart Explorer each time. I have also had some issues with my Z-order on my taskbar. It just will not stay on top of other Windows even though it is set to. Please help me. I am going to college on Monday, and I need these issues repaired before I leave. THANK YOU in advance for any help anyone is willing to give.
