I have an Athlon 900, 256MB, 80GB.
I've recently reinstalled WinXP Pro from scratch (SP1).
In about 2 days (after all the updates, including SP2), my notification area began
to show the behavior described in this thread.
I saw the problem when I've put taskmgr.exe to load in the startup folder. Most of
the time, the CPU usage icon don't show up in tray at boot up. Neither when I close
and reopen Task Manager, either by ctrl-alt-del or right-clicking the taskbar.
After trying every work-around here, and none of them worked for me, I started to
think about the problem... sure it's related to timing, because sometimes it works,
but most of the time it doesn't. Enabling and disabling services should bring some
clue about the problem, but in fact it didn't.
What worked for me was optimize the system with bootvis, after about 2 days using
the computer. I think the bug is somewhat related to timing or memory allocation.
