ERROR : "cannot create system shell notification icon"
Hello Experts:
MY SYSTEM:
HP PAVILION a320n
AMD ATHLON; HOME XP Sp 2
2.08GHz
1 gig RAM
120 Gig HD
NVIDIA GrForce 4MX
SECURITY: KASPERSKEY SECURITY SUITE: Kasperskey Anti-virus 5.0.385;
Firewalls : Kasperskey Anti-Hacker 1.8.180.0
HARDWARE FIREWALL : Alpha Shield X2
MY ISSUE :
Lately my windows shell seems unstable, and I am frequently getting the following error : "cannot create system shell notification icon."
My SpeedUp My PC application corrects the issue pretty fast, but obviously something is wrong in my system for this to be happening so often.
Any solution ideas??

Boy, you really wrote a treatise on this one! Even though I have nuthin' "Asus" in my system at all, I believe that you have probably nailed the nature of the problem. Now it is up to me to figure out which program I do have that can't get its icon into the tray fast enough on boot. I suppose I'll have to use trial and error - I wonder if there is a bootup log I can look at, to see which particular program is having trouble starting up too slowly?
Well, anyways, I am accepting your answer because, as I said, I believe you identified the general problem. Now I'll try to chase down the details.
