A System Tray Issue ( For some reason nothing but the date shows up in my system tray)

For some reason about 3 or 4 weeks ago everything but the date stop showing
in the system tray. For some programs that start using the system tray is
the only way to shut them down. I have not been able to find a fix. Even the
normal indicator to expand the system tray has disappeared.

Can someone provide a workable solution?

If you look at the toolbar properties, have you accidentally set "Hide
inactive icons"?

 

also try running start>run>msconfig
this will give you access to everything that loads at windows startup,
see if any are there. like virus software, firewall, ICQ, messenger et al.

It`s a long read, but there`s got to be something there,
to help.

The Hide inactive icons is unchecked.

Checked that and nothing appears that may be causing the problem
