    Hi,

    Whenever I turn on my laptop and then turn on the wifi, the icon on the bottom right of my screen disappears. Then when I restart my laptop, it comes back when I re-turn on the wifi. It's random, I dont know what is wrong. It could be the driver or maybe because Im using windows xp. Not sure... Is there anyone having this problem?

    thx
