Cannot Display Clock On Systray

You should right click in the Systray, then go to Properties and check in the option Show the clock. I hope this help you.

No the check box for the clock id grayed out ... I cannot click on it.

You could try creating a .reg file so open Notepad and copy and paste the following text:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"HideClock"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load]
"timedate.cpl"="No"

Then save the file as a .reg file (name it clock.reg for example and save it in the Desktop or any other place easy for you to find it), then double clicking this file should fix your problem.

Tried it already ... no joy.  I rebooted for other reasons and it reappeared.  How much is a Mac???

Hi niarb_innel:

Does the clock ever worked? Or it is just suddenly disappeared?

If it works before and just disappeared recently then you may want to try restore or a repair on your vista.

Try restore your vista first.
