Taskbar icons won't load.

Hi,
I don't know when this problem started but my taskbar icons do not seem to load anymore.
IE. The volume icon does not load itself anymore. I have to somehow toggle it by going into sound config directly and disabling the "Show icon... etc." feature and then enabling it again then I will see it load. It doesn't automatically load itself. The only icon that loads itself that I can see is McAfee Antivirus.
Aplications do load on startup, but they do not show their icons down on the taskbar. Please help me, thanks.

they're not hiding behind the 'show hidden icons' button, left from the system tray (it's NOT the task bar we are talking about here!)?
Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'

haha, no, it's not that simple. I have that feature disabled. But I understand what you are talking about. This is much more complicated. I have no idea why my icons aren't loading, but the applications are. This just recently happened. I have no idea what I did to cause it.
