The hotfix that came out on Tuesday was a critical security patch to fix a recent hacker problem so if that fixed your computer, it means you may have been hacked. Everyone had the same hole but most people were not having problems. Since you were, I'm wondering. What other security programs do you run on your computer? Antivirus? Anti-Spyware? Firewall? Online Security scans? Most people can get really good security programs running on their computers and they are all FREE. There are better ones that cost money but the free ones work really good too. I use a combination of FREE and paid for programs.
Run the FREE Windows Live Safety Center on your computer. http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm (Scroll down to middle column, click "Full Service Scan"). No need to download the 90 day free trial to use this free online scanner. I use it at least once a week to verify my other computer security programs are working.

OK. Next, go into your Preferences and on the first category, called "General", in the middle of that section, there is a line for "Remove the taskbar button when I minimize the main window". Make sure you do not have that checked off.

Justin, You probably have the auto-hide feature enabled for the icons in your system tray. This hides inactive system tray icons. There should be a little < or > to the left of your system tray icons. Click the < or > to expand or contract the rest of your system tray icons. If you want to change how this works, right click on your Start button or task bar and choose Properties. Either check or uncheck the box for "Hide Inactive Icons" on the taskbar tab.

My problems are always different than anybody elses. What my problem is, is that the yahoo messenger smily face icon is not showing up in my systray. for a few days it wasn't there after i started up my computer. I had my computer of on sunday when i was gone for the day and turned it on that evening. when i turned it on the icon was not in the systray. my computer was on until this afternoon when i went off becuase the power went out when i was working so i turned it back on after work. the icon was there then but my norton antivirus didn't seem to be running. i just restarted my computer, and my antivirus is running but the yahoo icon is not there though. yahoo messenger is running though.
