I agree 100% with most of this, but if your comment at the end that "some seem to suggest" Windows is the problem is just not true. Every post suggested that a clean install should work, but maybe getting the tray icon would take a bit of twiddling, but as @gordon b3 suggested (and others as well) the tray icon is irrelevant. Before i ditched running LMS on windows, I do remember this icon disappearing as well. It might have been because of an update, or win 7 to win 10, can't remember, but I have seen what the OP reports. But it just doesn't matter. I apologize if my disdain for windows led anyone to think that I was saying that the OS was the culprit. It was not my intent, but <as I get up on my soapbox> I am sure there are many others that lived through the blue screen of death, which they changed to the black screen of death, which has now morphed to the endless message "windows is trying to repair your computer" can agree that it is a poorly developed and frustrating product <steps down from soapbox>. I have 4 windows machines I need to keep running, and I swear I rebuild one every year. I just finished a 8 hour "windows is repairing your computer" that actually worked! It uninstalled a recent update that had black screened my computer. Yes, I have "move to linux" on my list :) I do hope the OP posts back and tells us that he is up and running :) Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115832 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
