System notification icons & pointer settings won't stay put!

I have Vista Ultimate and note the following issues. Is anyone able to
suggest a fix?:

1. The notification icons (volume, network, power) intermittently disappear
and are greyed out in the taskbar properties. This was an issue in XP and
really thought this 'new' OS would resolve it.

2. Automatically hide mouse pointer when typing also never worked in XP,
and continues not to work in Vista. Any other intellipoint drivers or
something I can try? 3rd party utils are either charged for or don't work
in Vista. This is supposed to work in the OS I paid for.

3. Automatically move pointer to dialog boxes also keeps unticking itself
after every reboot.

Hope someone is able to shed some light.

MS-Adict - your news server or newsreader is not changing the posting time to
the local time - it's not them posting in the future - it's a misconfiguration
on your end!
