Right click the Windows icon (bottom left of your screen ) Choose properties select taskbar tick all boxes except(autohide taskbar)
in notifcation icon and toolbar icon choose what you want remember to apply your toolbar is now locked
Sounds like you have 'hide inactive icons' enabled. To change this, right click the task bar and click properties and click on the notification area tab and untick 'hide inactive icons'. System icons should also be in the same tab, so just select the icons you want made visible.

For quick launch icons on the taskbar, simply unlock the taskbar and drag the arrow icon right to reveal the icons.

Right click the task bar at the bottom of the screen on the desktop and click properties. Do not use the control panel!
hai ,first of all u have check whether that particular software has been install proply or not .or might be virus probl. u have to scan ur whole drive by antivirus software which should be up to date.
you need to right click the taskbar and press properties. click on the notification bit and deselect the hide inactive icons bit . .
i have a vista laptop and its been doing that too try right clicking on the menu bar and click properties and click notification area it lets you pick wich ones you wanna show
Try clicking the little thing that looks like this (<<) on the side of the bar.
It brings up more options
