Taskbar items not loading with Windows?

[SpeedyZee]

Does anyone else have this problem? i'm using a Vaio PCG-GR214EP with windows XP (SP2 updated) but most times when i turn on the laptop, only a few of the icons in the taskbar load up. Sometimes some load and others don't, and periodically, all the icons tend to load. This is extremely annoying as most of my programs which load under the taskbar won't work properly, such as my bluetooth or Handstory etc.

Try logging off and then logging in again, this should restore the icons in the system tray – this is a known problem with Windows and there is no solution that I know of:smileysad:

Ooh thanks Rich, that seemed to do the trick!

No problem Speedy Zee, it is only a workaround, but does the trick!

An other tip is to at an logon password for windows xp. The problem seems windows xp loads to fast with an log on screen u give the system a few extra seconds it needs to display the tray icons, all of them.
An other way is to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete. In the process tab end explorer.exe. The go to "file" => New Task. then in the new task bar type in explorer. this is faster then logging out and off.
