Tray Icons

General Topics
1

I loaded Avast! Home 4. Several programs that load on startup and put icons into the tray load up, but the icons aren’t there. I went into the registry and deleted the current and past tray icon keys and rebooted, but no difference. Also, my Outlook 2007 mail notification icon doesn’t appear - it is set up properly in Outlook. Any ideas would be appreciated. Am running XP/SP2 and use Comodo firewall.

Thanks

I suggest an installation from the scratch:

  1. Uninstall avast from Control Panel first.
  2. Boot.
  3. Download the latest version of Avast Uninstall and use it for complete uninstallation.
  4. Boot.
  5. Install again the latest avast! version.
  6. Boot.
  7. Check and post the results.

What other security based software do you have that might block new startup entries, e.g. Spybot S&D (TeaTimer), AdAware (AdWatch), SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor (StartUpGuard), PrevX, WinPatrol, ProcessGuard, etc.?
