Re: can't access system icons

Hi,

Not sure what you mean by tick off.

You could try right clicking the Start orb, select Properties, click the Notification Area tab.

Tick Hide inactive icons box , click Customise and click items to activate the drop down box and select what you want them to do .

Then click OK.

No, he actually means when right click start menu bar, and clicking properties. It will go to a screen. Here's a pic of it attached.


If you noticed for me, I can't check off power since I'm running a desktop computer, so make sure you have a soundcard with the proper drivers installed
That fixed my problem last time.

Hi,

If you mean the Volume, Network and Power icons are greyed out, see this tutorial:
