..ok, probably this is the WRONG place to post this and everyone will get upset .. ..so forgive me ! I've got this brend new ACER Aspire 5684WLMi Notebook with XP M.C. Everything workked smoothly for a few days, then 1 hr ago I installed the latest Norton Antivirus 2006 updates, rebooted and ...bang lost 90% of the notification tray icons !!!! (plus it takes far to much to complete boot) I even get a "Error 0" from Daemon Tools I did check the Events registry but found absolutelly nothing Does anyone have a idea of the reasons for such a strange behaviour ? Ciao Marco ps: this obvioussly is NOT a PROGRAMMING QUESTION !!
