I also Googled looking for answers to this problem and found this site. Wanted to
let everyone know that disabling uPnP worked for me. I knew I was missing the power
and volume icons, and now there's a few others there that I didn't even realize were
gone.
It's a new laptop, Inspiron 9200, so WinXP SP2 was already installed and note I'm
using the Dell/McAfee SecurityCenter since there were some that suspected the antivirus
software.
One question though, what exactly is the uPnP and will I ever need to enable it for
anything in the future?
Oh, and thanks to everyone for the solution.
