Please help

Hi everyone

 

My computer allowed some windows updates to be installed today and I have since noticed that I have no volume icon, battery or network icons in my notification area on my toolbar. I have tried to get this back via the taskbar and start menu properties but under the systems icons sections only the clock is selectable. The volume, network and power boxes won't let me tick them? Is this likely to be linked to the updates?

 

Please help as it's driving me mad not having a shortcut to controlling the volume and not being able to check my internet connection or battery status.

 

Thanks

    If it was the updates, a "System Restore" should get everything back.  System Restore can be accessed under Accessories/System Tools.  Select a restore point that is PRIOR to the updates (there may even be a restore date when the updates installed and if there is you can use that restore point).

    Thanks for your quick response. I think it has something to do with installing service pack 1 KB936330. I have tried to allow the installation but at the last moment it fails. I get error code 80041315. Does anyone know where I can go to found out what this code means please?

     

    Thanks

    Google search is your friend.  I found THIS by doing a google search for the error code. 

     

    According to the Microsoft Tech Net forum, you need to disable your antivirus program in order to install SP1.
