Peek-a-boo sys tray icon

Hi, I have been using NOD32 v2.7 for about a year and a half. Lately, about once a week or so, the sys tray icon fails to appear on boot up. If there is a definitions update, it appears in a dialog box on the center of the screen rather than the customary balloon pop up just above the sys tray icon which is not there. I solve the problem by going to the main menu and clicking Control Panel, where upon the control panel appears along with the sys tray icon. I click off the control panel and all is well for another week or so. Has anyone experienced this and can you offer a remedy?

 

i know you are security expert
why you still with v2.7 please install EAV v3.0.642 and see the difference
many bug's are fix in v3 please take a test of v3 for a new year

 

Most likely it is caused by your video card drivers . Uninstall the current one(s) and install the very latest ones. Then , reinstall NOD32 (clean installation procedure) . And use v3

 

Thanks for the unearned compliment, but I'm no expert. The reason I'm back on v2.7 after the second try with v3 is because of bugs. Although I haven't tried v3.0.642 yet. I have been waiting for a version that works well for most folks.
How is nod32krn.exe behaving in the newest version?

 

Hi, I have never screwed around with drivers etc. hence my signature. Could you point me in the right direction to do that? It will probably jar my memory from doing something similar in the past. Thanks.

 

Well , I need to know your video card mark and model

 

integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900

 

Try first to run Windows Update and it will most likely list an update (if available) for your video card drivers . The update is not when used with the "Express" option , but only if "Custom" is used . So use Custom this time.

If there is an update , install it.


If there is no update listed under Windows Update , I think you can read these (but I prefer Windows Update this time because I am not 100% sure that I point you to the right one):

Thanks alot! I did some digging that recommended Win update also. I appreciate your help! So you think it's safe to try v3 again.

 

Sure

 

install v3.0.642 and tell us about any bug you seen
i am using ESS v3.0.642 and have not seen a single bug

 

You are very positive person
