Solve : Systray not adjustable since Exploere 8 download?? |
|
Answer» HELP!or I'm going to throw this laptop out the window shortly!!! When my laptop was returned from the factory(bad screen replaced), things seemed O.K., but I soon realized that the TECH had replaced my Explorer7 with 6, and I needed the latter's features. When I went to the Microsoft website, it was encouraging downloading Explorer 8 (instead of 7), so I did. I've since noticed ('tho it may not be related to ie8) that I can no longer alter what icons appear in my systray. When I GO into taskbar properties, it displays the icons, but the drop-down menus which are supposed to let you select if an icon is: 1. always displayed, 2. always hidden, or 3. hidden when inactive no longer appear. Is there something I can do to fix it, or do I have to unload ie8 and download ie7 to see if that changes things? The other annoying problem this problem has (and that it had before I sent it to be fixed) is the intermittent freezes which seem to happen with no provocation on my part, but require me to power off and re-start. The Event log shows alert events 1003 & 1015, which, according to the MSN site, require one to adjust the registry -- something to do with SNMP settings, something. I'm very nervous about messing with my registry, and I didn't UNDERSTAND the MSN instructions. It sounds simple for a techie, but I'm afraid if I bring it somewhere LOCALLY, it'll void my warranty. Again, HELP!!! P.S. My laptop is running XP. |
