EasyPass (EP) taskbar icon displays as a black box

Good afternoon everyone,

 I've noticed the EasyPass taskbar icon is displayed as a [b]black[/b] box.  This happened once before and I was able to get the icon back after restarting the computer a couple of times.

Now, however, the icon is still black after rebooting the computer 5 times in a row. The icon is set to “Always Show” in the Start Menu & Taskbar section (Control Panel).

EDIT: After trying the remedial measures shown in the FAQ section, I went and uninstalled the program, then re-installed it. The problem has now been resolved. 8)
