| 692992 | 2008-07-28 04:28:00 | I have icons that appear and disappear from my task bar for no apparent reason. The volume icon comes and goes, despite having the “display volume icon in task bar” box ticked in control panel. The “safely remove hardware” is another than comes and goes, without any doing on my part. Each time I start the computer a different display of icons appear. Any ideas would be appreciated | JohnnyR (9277) | ||

| 692995 | 2008-07-29 20:41:00 | Thanks for the advice and link to the article wainuitech. Interesting that so much research and discussion has gone into it. I'll try your solution when the problem appears again; currently all of my icons are behaving themselves. JR |

He can ctrl/alt/del, and right click and get results. If he pulls the battery from the laptop, shuts down and leaves it overnight, then boots up its OK, but then he reboots and they all vanish again. |
