How do I get my NVIDIA system tray back in my Windows XP?
Hi.
Rarely, my explorer.exe will crash and relaunch. However, I lose my NVIDIA system tray icon. Is there a way to get the icon back without rebooting or logging off/on? I tried NVIDIA's control panel - View menu - "Show Notification Tray Icon" option, but that didn't work. Thank you in advance. -- "In every enemy that is an ant, behold an elephant." --Turkish /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Phil/Ant @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) | |o o| | Ant's Quality Foraged Links (AQFL): http://aqfl.net \ _ / Nuke ANT from e-mail address: NT ( ) or Ant is currently not listening to any songs on his home computer. |

It's probably the Nvidia tray applet and something else that is loaded that is causing explorer to crash for some reason. Sort that out and you won't need to find a way to manually start it. Type msconfig in the run box and disable/enable items under the startup tab one at a time until explorer stops crashing. Then you will have the culprit. Unless it is being caused by a hardware issue, like flaky ram. |
