power icon always vanishes (speaker icon too)

the power icon always disapears whenever i adjust my display settings. i cant make it show up or stay, and its an important icon cuz it tellsme how long of life is in my battery...

how do i make it apear again?

 

Windows ? Rightclick on the taskbar, select properties, and either remove tickmark in "hide inactive icons", or click the change button and set the value for the power icon to show allways.

 

well wthe speaker icons back, but the power icon is still missing, ive gone into my power settings, and did the hide/show icoons thing but its just gone

 

Did you check the taskbar property sheet and the status there ? Either disable autohide inactive icons, or find the power icons setting there and set it to show allways.

 

ive done all that. its not HIDING, its just GONE. no battery or plug icons.

ive checked the powersetting stoo. i dont get why its gone.

 

Its the anti virus thats doing it.

This happens for most Auto-Logon users. Methods/workarounds: Log off and Log back on, password protect your account or disable SSDP and uPNP Services.


something the antivirus does to it. Fix. which isnt mine..found it on here too .

Go to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/top10faqs.htm and press ? in "Why don't my Notification Area icons show or why do they disappear?" and download the program from there and Disable SSDP and uPNP Service.

worked for me with same issue..plus 2 other icons missing.
