I've got an Acer Desktop running Vista Home Premium (SP2) with 2 GB of RAM.
All WU's are current. I'm Running CA (California Associates) Security Suite
software with no conflict issues. Also have MBAM malware software, CCleaner
and SuperAntiSpywareProfessional. I use Windows defender and Windows
firewall. As far as I know I have no Malware/Spyware, AV issues. I use
Firefox for browsing.

I got a blue screen the other day while surfing on my Powere Utility Service
sites. Upon reboot my desktop came up minus the little Network icon in the
Notification area of the taskbar. Also missing was my Realtek HD Audio
Manager icon for my PC speakers. I tried re-establishing these but wasn't
successful. Then I tried another reboot and the Realtek icon came back, but
the Network icon is still missing. I had to do another restart after a
power failure and this time the same Network icon was missing.

Is there anyway to recover this icon?

I looked in `services.msc' to see if I could restart it but it wasn't
listed. I have no problems connecting to the internet even
though the Network icon is missing. When the icon is there (if I'm connected
properly) it has a little blue screen on the icon monitor.

Thanks in advance for your fine assistance.................Paul C.

Run System Restore to a time before you got the blue screen.

Bob, thanks for your reply and suggestion. I've contemplated doing a
restore but am hesitant since doing that will take me back to a
configuration where my CA (California Associates) Security suite (from Road
Runner) license renewal might become expired, necessitating another 2 hour
phone call with CA to re-initialize my license.

Why a System Restore? If you do not know how to have his issue fixed then do not
tell the OP to do something that is not necessary at all.

Go to Control Pane\Network Connections and right click on your Local Area Connection
and select Properties.
On the bottom of the screen you will see Show Icon in Notification Area. If it is
not checked then check it and if is checked then uncheck it close out reboot and
when you open up again then repeat the process and recheck it. Let us know you made
out

Peter, thanks for your reply and suggestion.

I'm confused since in my Vista Home Premium Control Panel listing there's no
`Network Connections'. I do have Control Panel=Network and Sharing Center,
but on that screen there's no place to `right click on Local Area
Connection' because I can't find a LAN. When I do look around in what I
have I don't see anything about `Show Icon in Notification Area'.

Is your advice perhaps pertaining to WinXP?
