I'm running Vista Home Premium SP2 on an Acer desktop with 2 gig of RAM.

The computer is working fine and my internet connection seems quite normal.
However, I just noticed that the little computer monitor icon that's
supposed to be in the lower right hand corner of my display is not there.
Normally when I hover over this icon a small indicator shows up saying I'm
connected locally and to the internet.

I tried looking in `Services.msc' for something that's been inadvertently
disabled, but can't find anything relevant. I also tried re-establishing my
IP address but this did not produce the icon either. Last thing I tried was
`repairing' my internet connection to no avail.

Can anyone tell me how to get this icon back on without rebooting.

Thanks in advance....................Paul C.
