Have migrated WinXP Pro from IDE to SATA drive (used Acronis and tried
Partition Magic) but now missing all notification icons... no volume control
(enabled in Sound Properties), no LAN icon (enabled), no antivirus or
firewall icons (enabled by default), none are "hidden", TaskManager says
these items ARE running... what's happening... Help???
