hi..just reformatted my HD...trying to get eevrything back to the way it was..going 
good...interent and network are working fine...however my network icon is missing 
from the system tray..

I installed the drivers for my network card, and unchecked the "hide inactive icons" 
box in the taskbar properties..do I have to do something to make the icon show in 
the taskbar?

this is the first time I have formatted this particular computer, but I have formatted 
others and have never had this problem...of course all of my others are wireless...this 
one is ethernet..so I dunno

it is a dell dimension 3000 with windows xp sp2 and an intel PRO network card, (ethernet, 
not wireless)

can someone answer this for me???

I'm pretty savvy w/ with xp interface too...I've just never had to do that upon reformatting..it always did it for me! I looked in that dialog box like 3 times and did not see that checkbox...(I tend to have tunnel vision)..sometimes I guess u just need a third party to point it out to you!! thanks...I think thats the simpelest computer issue I've ever solved!
