Tray Application

[Guest]

Every time I boot up - I get the error message that:

Tray application has encountered a problem.

Anyone know what this is about?

If tray application related message comes up during startup try clean
booting Windows XP:

You may also like to check for altered system files:


1. Click Start, run, type "cmd" (with out quotation marks) and click OK.
2. In the dos window, type SFC /SCANNOW and hit enter.

When prompted for the Windows XP CD, provide the following path if you are
using a OEM version of XP:

C:\i386

application that has a tray icon.

Look in the Event Viewer for more information.

Event ID & the Event Source are very important.

To open the Event Viewer...
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | OK

For any Events that seem related to the problem...

Double click the event in Event Viewer | Click: the button below the second
arrow (looks like two pages) [[Copies the details of the event to the
Clipboard.]] | Paste into Notepad | Click:
