Patrick,

Hmm. I had tried this before. The "Hide inactive icons"
toggle was/is not selected. Good idea though.

Humberto,

Thought you might have already tried that, but since you didn't mention
it...

I found some info in a post from a Microsoft tech guy. He suggested making a
new user account, logging in as that account, and then seeing if it shows up
then. If not, then he suggests booting from a CD, and running update from
repair. He notes that this will reinstall all the system data, and all your
updates will have to be reinstalled.

Also, found a post from Kelly (MVP) that suggested the following: Deactivate
the SSDP and uPnP Service. Go to Start - Run - services.msc. Find the
services SSDP Discovery Service and the Universal Plug and Play Device Host.
Stop them, set to disabled, and reboot. I haven't tested either of these, so
at this point I'm just passing along suggestions in hopes of helping.

Let me know!

Hope this helps some!
