Hi, I have a small but irritating problem. I used to see the 2 tine screens in the systray when connected, but lately they are just not there. Any suggestions? Secondly, when I minimize a webpage to the taskbar only the first letter of the address appears, example: Computing.net appears as: C and that's it! Help please When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Sorry, I don't know why my message indicated the wrong info at the top since I changed it when I bought this wretched Win XP Home. I'd sell my first birthright to go back to win 98se! The best ever!! Btw as I said I now have this Win XP Home and 512 mb of ram. When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Hi For your first problem go to start>control panel> if you are in category view click Network & internet connections then click network connections right click on the connection and chose properties, on the general tab - check the box that says 'show icon in notification area when connected' For your second problem - right click the task bar and go to toolbars, make sure nothing is ticked ie desktop or links. Hope this helps azzer

Dawie, "Secondly, when I minimize a webpage to the taskbar only the first letter of the address appears, example: Computing.net appears as: C and that's it! Help please" If you have the Google Desktop Search installed, uninstall it, reboot your computer then reinstall the Google Desktop Search. This should correct the problem. Tufenuf

Thanx to all of you. Will try all and report back. When was the last time you did something for the first time?
