Power meter icon

[Mike]

Hi,

I am unable to get the battery power meter to show in the task bar of my
Dell Inspiron 4000. Makes no difference if it's plugged in to mains or
running from battery.

I have the "Always show icon on the taskbar" option ticked in the advanced
tab of Power Option Properties. (Even when this is not ticked it makes no
difference)

I am not using the "Hide Inactive icons" option of the Taskbar. (Even when I
troubleshoot and turn this on, it makes no difference)

If I am running on battery, I still do get the yellow exclamation triangle
when it advises me to switch to mains.

Thanks,
Mike

Check out the website at this link. Select the letter N, and page down to
"Notification Area." There are several fixes for vanishing icons in the
Notification Area.
