I FOUND THE ANSWER!!! I guess the system services weren't launching systray.exe???
I added C:\WINDOWS\System32\systray.exe to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and that solved the problem. I really hope this helps someone. I for one didn't
want to disable plug n play or anything like that. Stay Blessed
