Trouble with Taskbar Notificatio

[Larry]

After formatting my computer and my daughters, hers is great but mine seems buggy. After the computer boots all that shows in start menu notification bar is Nortons. Logitech, Ad-watch, and Creative volume control do not show in the Notification. I have gone into customize notification and changed them to "show all the time" several times and saved the settings but all that comes back is nortons... Any ideas why its goofing up... :blink:

This should be in windows xp.

If you have a little icon that looks similar in the screenshot below, click on it and everything should show up. If those items are not showing up either you don't have them running or they are not configured to show.

If you change them to always show then that should take effect immediately. Most likely they aren't running.

or they are not configured to show there.

Ok tried this and that and by the way since I've had XP I've never had that little arrow. I played with all the settings and nothing, there is something goofy going on I hope I don't have to redo it. :angry: Is there some more internal area I can look into to change the settings??

Right-Click on start button, Click on properties, Click on Taskbar tab, click on Customize on the bottom right, there you have all your settings. You can also try clicking on restore defaults and see what happens.

Yeah tried all that , I was familiar with all those settings before but they are not making a difference. I think the creative software is causing the problem but what do I know...I don't use Win. Messenger and the dam thing keeps making an appearence every 2.5 boots or so, so I updated it just to able to adjust the settings but just like everything Microsoft it seems to want to take over the world,. :angry:
Theres something wrong (IMO) with what ever tells XP to load the utilities or something... :blink:

Definitely NOT I think thats the original reason I'm reformatting now. Even the lads over at the computer shop say STAY AWAY from it for now anyway.

Right, I thought you may have upgraded.
