No Bulleye in the System Tray

[Tunaman]

Just after updating to the latest revision, I no longer
have a Bullseye in my System Tray. Task Manager shows
that "gcasServ.exe" is running, but there's no icon in the
System Tray. Has anyone else seen this problem??

Log off and log back on again. Or:
You can repair Windows AntiSpyware using Add or Remove Programs in Control
Panel. Click Microsoft AntiSpyware and click Change. Click Next, and then
click Update.

If you see that the icon is in the systray, then you have
been hit by a long standing bug in XP.

I've had the same thing happen to me with about four
other applications as well. Logging off and logging back
on corrects this. Once you reboot though, the problem
will likely return.

After scroling down and reading the post about "multiple
bullseyes", I tried the fix recommended by using the
Control Panel "Add/Remove Programs" and using the "Change"
option to update the software. PRESTO! The bullseye was
back!

Alan,

Thanks for the response. I just made another post saying I
had fixed the problem by updating through the Add/Remove
Programs function. However, I spoke too soon. Just after
posting, I ran the curser over the System Tray bullseye and
the bullseye disappeared. I tried again updating, but that
didn't change things. Then I read your post and tried
logging off and then back on. That didn't work either.

Any more ideas? Anyone??

Thanks

I spoke (posted) too soon. As soon as I ran my curser over
the System Tray bullseye, the bullseye disappeared. I tried
updating again, but it didn't change anything.

'Still looking for help.

It's possible it could be windows just hiding the icon,
try right clicking on an empty bit of the taskbar and
selecting 'properties', then from the 'Taskbar' tab click
customise, find MSAS in the list and check what
the 'behaviour' is set to, I've noticed that mine does
sometimes get automatically changed to 'hide when
inactive' instead of 'always show', I think the behaviour
setting gets changed when you sometimes see more than one
icon in the tray, then one disappears when you move the
mouse over it.

If it's set to 'hide when inactive' windows will
automatically hide it if you haven't actually clicked on
it for a while.
