Why is the egg-timer icon always next to my cursor arrow? How do I get rid of it? Thanks..?

It sounds like you might need a beefier computer to run whatever you're running.  Or, you may need a faster internet connection, depending on when you see this.\n\nThe egg timer means that something is trying to run and/or load, and it's asking you to wait until it is finished.

It's probably there, but just made too small.  Put your cursor at the bottom of the screen and see if it turns into a double arrow.  If so, click and drag upwards.  You should get your task bar back.\n\nAlso, to prevent this, right click on the task bar and select 'Lock the Taskbar'

From your description these are the icons at the bottom of the screen and just to the left of the clock. If this isn't  it, let me know.  Right click on the bar at the bottom and go to properties.  At the bottom of the of that little window you want to NOT CHECK the box called hide inactive icons.

Windows XP hides inactive icons from systray after some time. And thats what I think happening to you. If you want it remain visible always do this :\nStart > Control Panel \nDouble click on Taskbar and Start Menu icon in Control Panel\nUnder the Hide inactive icons frame, click on Customize. \nFind Volume control's entry in Current items and select Always Show as its behaviour.\n:P

i have never seen this problem before - maybe you could be more detailed as to what it IS doing?\n\n//edit//\nafter seeing that picture, i believe i understand whats going on....play around with those dotted-line borders, and move them until you can see the taskbar window pane icons (the windows you have running and the windows you have up)\nbasically all that seems to have happened is that that specific part of the taskbar is being hidden due to the enlarged size of other parts (quick launch)\n\nif you still cant seem to get it, email me on superXero07@comcast.net, i should be able to help ya

First is your tool bar locked or does it hide itself when not used ?\nThen are your icons set on "auto arrange" or do you have a desktop cleaning software installed ?

i think that is because you are using AIM Triton.  That program sucks for personal icons.  I recommend going to another site like downloads.com and downloading an older AIM, open that and then download the desired icon.  That is how i did it, there may be another way.

The icon shows when a webpage you are at uses Java.. When you goto another page that doesnt use it.. It hides until the next time its needed. Or it could just be updating.. Make sure your Java is updated.. goto control panel.. Java... Update tab.. Update now.

You can either go vie the tools menu (the little cog symbol) or you can hit F10 to bring up the old-style menubar :)

Hi, I hope you already found the answer. If you haven't, try this : \nGo to Tools -> internet Options -> Programs \nthen Click Mange Add-ons\nOn the bottom find YInstStarter Class, highlight that, then put the settings into disable ( bottom left box ).\nYou can disabled all of the Yahoo! Inc plugins just to make sure. That fixed my problem.

It would help if you could provide additional information, as I'm not really sure as to what you mean by right-clicking in the add/remove programs control panel.  If you have an icon that you want to get rid of it and can't delete it, just select it and press the 'Delete' key.\n\nIf you want to send additional information and receive additional help,  you can e-mail me at kevinarbogast@yahoo.com

On one of the toolbar there should be a symbol like this ¶. If you see it then you click it and they will disappear. If you don't then go to a down arrow on that toolbar row and click it. then add new icons and scroll down and look for this ¶ symbol or non-printing characters. then click it. Yay job done.

Hey Pal,\n\nI have no idea about the Stationery Icon that you are looking for, but try to change your appreance to the BETA mode and then switch it back!\nMaybe it will fix the problem.\n\nCiao,

if its xp it probably just needs to have the cookies, temporary internet files, and the msconfig startup cleaned out. how many icons do you have showing up next to the clock?

I just downloaded internet explorer 7 today and had the same problem. Here is the solution. Right mouse click on the tool bar. If menu bar does not have a check mark next to it then click on it. Now you will have the tool bar with the file, edit, view, favorited, tools and help button. \nHope this helps.
