Yes the Notification area in Windows 7 has evolved from that used in XP. The "Solve PC issues: 2 messages"is an alert from a smart service that runs in the background and looks for problems and knows how to automatically repair it. This notice makes you aware there were / are problems. It also allows you to look through the log of messages. Even though it fixes a problem, it might be important to know if it is continually fixing the same problem.

In the Taskbar Properties, there is a checkbox to Show all icons in the Notification area. I thought there was a way to Hide inactive icons as well. Perhaps that option is only available if all icons option is checked? I prefer to choose exactly which icons are shown all of the time, like Volume and Drop Box. This way, I have easy access to those features. Other notifications still pop up, like Windows Update, if there is something to download and install.

Hi All,

The system tray/notification area on my 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium machine 
contains items that are totally different from those in the sys tray on my XP 
Home computer and items that should be there like JAWS, Microsoft Security 
Essentials, Carbonite, etc. are not showing.

Select a System Tray Icon graphic 798
Solve PC issues: 2 messages Right Single ClickFully charged (100%)
Network  2 Internet access
Speakers: 100% Left Single Click
Left Double Click

is what's there now.

There was a thread here last week where someone said that JAWS was not showing in their 
sys tray and the responses, which I saved, seemed to indicate that each item needs to 
have its behavior customized individually.  I'm not sure if my problem would be solved 
the same way and wanted to ask here before I did anything.  Does anyone know what in the 
world the "Solve PC issues: 2 messages" comes from?  All I can think of is that 
MSN was the home page when my tech delivered the computer.  Installing programs and set 
up is part of their paid service with the purchase of new machines and maybe they posted 
to some tech forum to solve some issue with my machine.

I'm running JAWS 12 on the Win 7.

I greatly appreciate everyone's patience with all my questions!

Margaret
