Some Startup Items Not Loading...

No Shawn. But this happens only once in a while. Not every time.

Hwee,

You might also run a sfc /scannow command to see if it may be able to find and fix a possible corrupted system file that could be causing this eradic behavior.

Shawn,

I have done the scanning. It says "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations". It seems even Microsoft does not know about this problem.

I was having that exactly problem until yesterday. without any reason some of the startup programs could not be loaded at startup. and it was not following a pattern...

would you please check if your behaviour are like that described at an article at winhlp.com:

thanks

My windows 7 home premium also the same. Sometimes the Network icon or Volume icon or Antivirus icon went missing. Once I reboot, everything become ok. I also checked the msconfig but the problem still exist. I can't find any reason for this.

Yep, I've found that the volume icon is particularly sketchy. No rhyme or reason as to when it decides to show itself.

The bad thing about this is you would not know when it will happen. It just happen suddenly. Once you reboot, everything will turn out fine. I think it is similar to what the article in winhlp.com says.

I am wondering if you already defined a password at your current windows 7 user.... if your windows are loggin in automatcly try to define any password and tell me if it solves your problem.

hwee71 · 17 Dec 2009

I have not use any password. Will use a password. Wait and see if it happens again.

Still happening

You might see if uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for the device for that icon may help in case it had gotten corrupted.
