Somehow the task manager has lost the header tabs to move from applications to processes to network. It was there originally.I also lose from time to time my volume control icon, and it doesn't become hidden, itjust disappears completey. To change the volume I have to either go into the control panel/sound and then adjust the volume and leave that open if I need to turn it down. OR reboot and it sometimes comes back.When I go to 'notification Icons" in control panel the icon and letteringfor sound iconis not bold or high lighted but instead it is diminished. I have also seena popup stating that modification will take affect when it (the sound)is activated as a pop up, but can't remember where I saw that happen.Another question I have is...Ihave only one machine, my C:drive has Vista ultimate, all important files are on E,F HD's,removable, orexternal drives. Idownloaded Win7 and burned a disk.I removed the40Gig C: with Vista puta 250Gig drive in that location and installed Win7. So far so good and am very pleased with everything even with a few bugs.Now I needed to go back to the Vista drive,so I removed the Win7 drive,reinstalled the 40Gig as C and received a prompt stating that ? win logon was not found. So I got the Vista DVD and did a repair which worked. If Win7 doesn't get an update to operate past August 1st and I go back to the 40Gig Vista drive will that happen again? AND where does that file get stored when you originallyinstall?Does it go into the bios chip? Only becasue when I went back to the Win7 HD I got virtually the same prompt for that other drive.I am in the process of building another machine, but becausethe computerI'm currently using is antiquated in comparrison andall new parts are requiredexcept for the chasis the cost is setting me back a bit. Maybe when I do get everything I'll be able to do a dual OS, but for now I have what I have.Computer is an old dual xeon with ata drives going on 7yrs old, buthas been a work horse and needs to go to pasture.

Hm. Double click on the edge of Task Manager. http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n410/stone_cold_05/TaskManager.png ---- Norton AntiVirus 2009

In addition to what Techoutsider said, you can open the Notification Area Icons control panel item and you can try clicking the "Restore default icon behavior" link near the bottom of the window and see if that fixes the MIA volume control. Your issue with swapping the hard drives may have something to do with the BIOS. Namely, it may not have correctly registered the replaced drive the first time you rebooted. You may want to try going in and making sure that it's where it should be in the pecking order. If it's expecting the 40 GB HDD, and it suddenly finds a 250 GB HDD, that could be the reason why you're having difficulty booting. Simply removing the drive and swapping it out should not cause it to become unbootable unless something changed within the BIOS settings. Given the drives you've got there aren't identical, there may be an issue with the BIOS not finding the correct drive. Make sure you update the BIOS settings by going in and then saving while exiting.For the record, NO OS writes ANYTHING directly to the BIOS. The exceptions to this would be the utilities you get with your motherboard that allow you to tweak settings (overclock) your components - such as Nvidia's NTune applet. All Windows files get written to the hard drive. As long as you didn't change anything, it should be able to find everything as it was the last time the hard drive was plugged in.According to rumors and such, there should be an RC build available almost any time now. There have been rumors to April 10th - or 1 week from this writing - and there have been rumors to some time in May.

I have the icon dissapearing but on vista sp1. Both the network icon and the sound icon dissapear and then I go and try to turn them back on but they are grayed out. My tech support says I have too many problems and brushes me off. From a vista standpoint this problem occurs when coming out of sleep mode or loosing wireless. let me know if this gets fixed for windows 7 as it might help me in vista.

Hi Again, The "restore icon to default behavior" doesn't function, Itried that once beforewith the same results, As I stated it isNOT HIGH LIGHTED or as "COOLBIKER" says it is greyed out and does not function.Thisdidn't happen on my vista setup, and it does happen coming out of seep, andsometimes the mouse takes a long time to wake.Sometimes I see the "action center also greyed out or not high lighted.Not complaining just searching for answers and to learn of course.

Hi again,The restore icon behavior doesn't function it is not high lightedas well as sometimes the "action center" icon.

I, too, have lost the title bar, menu bar AND tab bar on my Task Manager. I upgraded to Win 7 Pro 64 from Win XP Pro SP3 x86.

DblClick worked for me. ThanksRhonda J.
