This is my third Windows reinstall.
Each time, my Bluetooth and Battery icons appear in my tray for a couple of weeks then they disappear. This has happened three times now and it’s getting so annoying I may just sell this notebook.
What am I doing wrong?
Right click on your start bar and click on “Properties”. Either remove the tick from”Hide inactive icons” or click on “Customize” and change required icons to “Always show”.
This is not an NC10 thing, it’s a Windows thing.
This is not a Samsung problem, it’s something to do with windows. It takes 2 minutes to correct. There is no need to keep re-installing windows.
Go through the Samsung Software Media CD that comes with the machine. In folder BASW-01178A is a file SWDesc.txt which reports that the folder contains the bluetooth drivers.
Copy the folder to your NC10 and then open it. Click on setup.exe. It will uninstall the BT drivers etc and then re-install to bring the machine back to normal.

[/quote1233277827]I know how to do that ;P that is not the issue and “always show battery in tray” is checked in the power properties. I am an expert computer user, I have NEVER had this issue on any of my many laptops

try to check you haven’t turned on show UPnP device in Network Places
[/quote1233280157]THAT WAS IT!
Why? I’ve always shown UPnP devices because myself and my two neighbors split a very very fat fiber connection. We have consoles and media servers and etc running and I don’t ever think this has been a problem for me in the past
THANK YOU. What’s your PayPal address so I can send you $5!

[/quote1233335349]Well excuse me for trying to be helpful…..
Kenton thought it was a Windows problem. You try to help and get a bad tempered reply.
You have been thanked 6 times here, he has no thanks against his name. I wonder why?[quote1233401692=kenton]

Not that much of an expert then? :-p[quote1233406538=MattJessop]
He’s American – say no more 😛

Are you sure he’s not Kenton Archer 😕Oh no – I’ve just disclosed I’m a closet Archer’s fan !lol
I wonder why so many Americans (not all, by any means) are so sore headed? It seems to be a sort of insecurity, like they always have to know best.
Then you think, well why do they need advice, then?Thanks for this posting about icons. I did the same thing and wondered why icons were suddenly absent. Maybe it needs more publicity as a potential problem.
