I updated this machine to Vista a day ago and all seemed OK at first
excepting that now I cant autosync a PDA on it. Wont recognise the Ipaq HX2190 damn it. Anyway, today the icon for the wireless network just drops off the tray and cant get it back nor can I find the option to do so anywhere. No it isnt hidden as I changed to show ALL icons. I note that about half my running program icons are gone, too. Anyone know how to get the wireless network icon back? I like to REPAIR off the tray icon when needed. |

Hello Diamontina,
To make the network icon appear in the notification area, please follow these steps: Right-click in the system tray, and choose Properties. Click the Notification area tab. Make sure the Network checkbox is checked. -- Eric Cross Microsoft MVP (Windows Networking) http://mvp.support.microsoft.com "Diamontina Cocktail" wrote in message ...

Yep, stupid me that was it. Thanks for that.
Finally got the PDA to sync. Only took 4 uninstall and installs of the Windows Mobile Device Centre to get it going. Sigh.... "Eric Cross [MVP]" wrote in message ...

Eric...VERY helpful but why did Microsoft make the default for this useful feature of knowing you have wireless access as NOT ON????
