I cannot check the Network and Power boxes. Also in the customise section I have the "Norton is protecting you" icon set to Show and the "You have mail" icon set to show - neither of which actually do show on the notification area. When I change these settings, I click the apply button and make sure the "hide inactive icons" options is ticked at the Taskbar and Start menu Properties box, still I cannot get these properties to do what I ask and show all the time and more worryingly I cannot get the power and networking icons to appear in the notification area at all. They were there last week. I have auto updates from Toshiba and Microsoft and auto scans by Norton activated and am wondering if one of these has "upset" my machine. Can anyone help ? </p> http://www.forums.maximumpcguides.com/vista/topic.php?id=75#post-182 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 09:24:39 +0000 damies 182@http://www.forums.maximumpcguides.com/vista/ <p>It is really great to know about the perfect information for the windows maker.
