My problem seems to be resolved. The registry edit did not solve the issue (at least not on its own). Closing the app I had mentioned did solve my problem. It seems that this app was some how corrupting icon cache in Windows 7. I imagine it's because this app attempts to update its own tray...

:eek: I am right... that's basic hard drive partitioning 101. Anyone who actually knows how to do technical support would know that. Hard drive partitioning is something that comes up all the time in tech support and computer work. Good practice is to always have your programs and OS on one...

I'm just kidding about the hax part. If you look under your name on each of these forum posts, there are small icons. The on furthest to the right looks like a flip calandar w/ the number "12" on it. If you mouse over it, it says "365 Days Registered". I was joking/poking fun at the fact that...

I didn't think there was any kind of indication that I didn't understand what a clean install is. I know good and well what it is... And no disrespect... But a clean install is wiping out everything on the partition that the OS in question is installed on... not necessarily the whole hard drive...

I'm not the OP on this thread so that wasn't me that said I did an upgrade. But I did do an upgrade. Everything has worked fine so far. The only problems I had to fix was out of date drivers, but that was a simple fix. This isn't an issue to do a full reinstall over. While it's the easiest...

If you aren't getting the chance to get into bios, then you have a hardware issue. Does your computer make any beeps, or does the motherboard have a digital read out for error codes? If so, please relay what the beep pattern or error code is. Try swapping out video cards. If you're using...

It doesn't solve my problem though. Even if they all are shown in the tray at all times, the icons still experience the same symptoms. It will only make my hunting one click quicker by not having to expand the hidden icons. I still have to mouse over all the invisible icons to see what they are...

Sigh... This isn't my issue. I don't want all of the icons to show in the tray at all times, and I'm well aware of that feature(I've worked IT for some time on XP, and know my way around Vista pretty well, which most of that applies in Windows 7). My issue is some sort of bug that causes the...

You appear to have the same problem I'm having. You'll notice that there's a lot of empty space between your icons that show and the clock. If you mouse over that area, you'll likely see the mouse over edge highlight and the mouse over context info. There's something that's causing the icons to...
