What worked for me is to: Right click on the right of the task bar and click on ‘properties’. Then go to ’start menu’ and switch from ‘classic start menu’ to ’start menu’.

Then go to ‘notification area’ and then you will see that the ‘volume’ the ‘network’ or ‘power’ box are no longer grayed out.

[...] ich das weiß? Weil andere das schon früher herausgefunden haben und darüber schön berichtet haben – naja nicht ganz so schön wie hier vielleicht, aber es funktioniert [...]

Don’t mess with your registry! That’s a disaster just waiting to happen. Go to Control Panel and choose Classic view. Now go to Taskbar and Start Menu Properties > Notification Area.
You should now be able to select which icons show.

Thank you! my battery and volume indicators are now available in the notification area AND the check boxes are now available (not grayed out)

Thanks! Stopping Explorer.exe and then restarting it from Task Manager was the ticket.

I’ve installed Windows Vista Ultimate on my HP nx7300 laptop.Before I had XP Professional.Now I have this problem : volume icon in the taskbar doesn’t respond wyhen I click on it.I have reinstalled Vista Ultimate,but another one,different .ISO size,genuine,no crack.First times,like in the previous Vista,worked…after few times clicking on it to adjust the volume : no response . Volume mixer and sound volume freezed,no response cliking on them.Manually,I can adjust the volume,mute on,mute off.I’ve tried everything,from desinstallig the driver,reinstaling,using other drivers to modifying different settings.Accesing SoundMax from Control Panel works,settings are working,only Sound volume and mixer by clicking on them do not work.The only thing I didn’t tried is modifying something in the registry,because I don’t know.From all I tried ,is the only solution I can imagine for fixing. Anyone that can help,I will appreciate a lot,not only me,but others too that have the same prolem and can’t find an answer. Thank’s
