Notification Area On Boot

[Baseman]

I have just reciently installed XP Pro SP1 on my newly
built comp. 3.0 cpu w/ht, 2gig ram, 400gig SATA-RAID,
800Mhz fsb....etc. This is not your neighbours
computer!! I spent over $4000.00 building this computer
and am really dissappointed with the partictular problem
I am having with Windows. Most of the time when the
computer gets turned on, the active running icons in the
notification area don't display. I know the programs are
still running in the background somewhere but the icons
don't display. I know they are still running cause one
of the icons that won't display is my pop up stopper
program. The program is still stopping the pop up's
which is great, but I have other programs I would like to
access from the notification area. If anyone has any
idea as to what is going on here and/or if you have a
fix, can you please post a message. I posted my e-mail
on here a while back and got nothing but junk mail after
that. I won't do that again.
Thank you for your time and help.

I don't know if this will help. It won't hurt to give it a try.
