    Just installed Vista. Everything went fine except for one really annoying thing: I cannot get the volume, wireless, and battery icon to show up in the notification area. The option to show it (right clicking the taskbar/properties/notification tab) is greyed out, so I cannot select the icons. The only thing I can show is the clock.

    Did you try it with an Administrator account or with UAC turned off?
