Bootcamp Control Panel Gone (Windows 7 System Tray)

After I installed Windows 7 64-bit using bootcamp, I had a system tray icon for the Bootcamp Control Panel. It recently disappeared and I can't get it to appear back. Without the control panel running properly, it looks like the volume keys, backlit keyboard, etc don't work anymore in Windows.
I have tried the things I could find in these forums and through online searches but nothing has worked:
1) Uninstall and then reinstall Bootcamp drivers and controll panel program using the OSX install DVD. I installed "Boot Camp Update for MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) (Windows 64 bit)"
2) Using msconfig to confirm Bootcamp was in the start up program list (it was already in the list so I unchecked it, rebooted, then checked it again, an rebooted)
3) Running Bootcamp.exe in Windows Vista compatibility mode
4) Checking my registry for the entry being there correctly (it was)
5) Customising the "notification area icons" to make bootcamp have the "Show icon and notifications" behavior.
None of these things worked. For additional information, I see that Bootcamp.exe is in the Windows task manager process list so it seems to be running.
How anyone found a solution to get the control panel system tray working again?
Thank you!

Hi Flying High,
Thanks for the response. The little gray square for the Boot Camp Manager has shown up in the notification area before (accessible through the little arrow on the right side of the screen), but the problem is that it doesn't show up anymore.
I just tried uninstalling Boot Camp and all the drivers, and then reinstalling it again from the DVD and using the "Boot Camp Update for MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010 (Windows 64 bit)"...
The little gray square for the Boot Camp Manager showed up after the first reboot and the function keys worked (like volume control), but when I rebooted again, the notification manager didn't show up and none of the function keys work anymore. So back to square one.
Has anyone had this problem with the Boot Camp Manager showing up in the notification ares only after the initial installation but not after reboots?
Thank you!

Where is the bootcamp control panel on windows 8.1?

This might seem kinda simple, but i'm really having a hard time finding this "Bootcamp Control Panel" on my windows 8.1. I have installed the Bootcamp drivers and searched online, but I have no idea where it is.
It's not in the control panel.
I've searched the whole computer and theres nothing with "Bootcamp" on it.
Help?

nm my bootcamp icon is down in the right part of the startbar like it were with windows7

When I try to use the bootcamp control panel in Windows 7 to reboot into Windows 7, the computer reboots into MacOS

Any ideas how to resolve this problem?

I open the Boot Camp control panel in Windows 7 and select the the Boot Camp Windows disk. Next to the Restart button I see it tells me it will restart in Windows. When I click the button there is a dialog box that asks if I want to restart in Windows. I hit OK and it restarts in MacOS.
Ever since I installed Windows 7 some years back this process has worked incorrectly. I waited, expecting Apple updates to Boot Camp would resolve the problem. Does anyone know a solution?

NO java control panel in windows system control window

Hello together,
there seems to be a bug/feature (?) not allowing me to use the plugin functionality of my J2EEsdk-1_4
Situation:
Before i installed the J2EE i had an already installed java plug-in 1_4_2 working fine on
my Laptop giving my ms explorer 6.0 the Java VM needed. To avoid conflicts, i deinstalled
this plug-in, before i installed the J2EE 1_4_2. The result was disapointing.
There was NO java control panel in the windows2000 system control window after installing J2EE.
There was no corresponding registration key in the registry anymore.
Additionally there was no java related entrance to be seen anymore in the advanced internet and
security options of my ms explorer 6.0.
i have have found several trouble reports mentioned similar problems during the last months but unluckily
no solution working for me.
i did several tests with different java packages i downloaded today to get the actual versions
First:
i deinstalled the J2EE (not to get version conflicts) and installed the Java Plug-in 1.4.2 again.
This was proposed from ms explorer, when i tried to open an internet page with javaplugins included.
This plugin worked fine again. I could see and use the java panel and it enabled
my explorer to use the java plugin.
Second:
i deinstalled the Java Plugin and installed the J2sdk_1_4_2 instead.
The java plugin which is part of this package also worked fine.
Third:
i deinstalled the J2sdk_1_4_2 and installed the J2EEsdk-1_4-windows.exe.
the same misbehaviour as mentioned before. No java panel icon can be seen
in the windows system control, now registration......
as a workaround i have installed now both, the J2eesdk (i want to learn about)
and some additonal 100 MB java plug-in to enable my MS explorer to display
java applets again.
This is working fine again, but i really would prefer to have no need for two JREs.
By the way:
When i first opened the java control panel of the Plug-in and deactivated the update
mechanism , this plugin got really angry immedialtely afterwards. As a result my
laptop rebooted without coming up again. i had to initiate another hard reboot to get
windows back
i really would like to know , whats wrong me or the J2ee and i apriciate
any hint.
Best regards: yours aspirant

One thing you could do if you by all means want to have only one single copy of 1.4.2 on your system is to install standalone J2SE 1.4.2 (this will accomodate your Java console and browser plugin requirements) and then install Application Server only distribution (on the download page this is referred to as "Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8") and sample applications set ("J2EE 1.4 SDK Samples "). In this way you get full content you would get in J2EE 1.4 SDK and all the benefits of standalone J2SE 1.4.2 installation.
This is obviously more convoluted at installation time since there are 3 separate things to install, but it would seem to fit your requirements.
Hope this helps...

Superb detail, thank you.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

HT4759 iCloud Control Panel on Windows XP

Are there any workarounds to be able to download & use the iCloud Control Panel on Windows XP?

here is a simple hack to get iCloud control panel to work on Windows XP to give you synced access to Contacts, Calenders, Reminders and Bookmarks. It also can be used to set up your me.com mail. Photostream doesn't work.
I found a solution here, have written it up in clearer english and added details re IMAP support for me.com addresses here:
http://42i.co/s/1ii
In summary:
You need:
Unpacking program e.g. 7-Zip or WinRar
Orca MSI editor
The iCloud setup hack for Windows XP:
Download iCloud Control Panel for Windows- NOTE: old versions that work are still avaliable in my solution: http://42i.co/s/1ii
Open iCloudSetup.exe file with WinRar or 7-Zip and extract.
Navigate to and open the iCloud.msi or iCloud64.msi (for 64bit systems) with Orca.
In the left table select LaunchCondition. Then change in the right table “VersionNT> = 600” to “VersionNT> = 200” and Save.
Run modified iCloud.msi and install.
Run iCloud Control Panel, located in the Windows Control Panel, and set up as you want.
I've had reports that you need to keep the files extracted from the .exe file in the same directory during installaton of the .msi file.
Have fun!

And during the installation i got the option to install like 8 different programs to install for my soundcard including the Control Panel wich i pretty much only care about

Hi dylan1990,
You may want to reinstall the drivers again. From the details section, it did mention that the driver includes Creative Audio Control Panel in Win 8.1.
Hope the suggestion works for you.

Problem with Office 2007 whenever I install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows

Sadly I have a Win7 laptop as my work hack and am using Office 2007. Outside of work I use iCloud to sync calenders between various iOS/OS X devices however whenever I install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows Plugin my email no longer loads. Outlook starts fine and just sits there with an empty inbox waiting for mail to load. I can't even open the iCloud Panel from within Control Panel either to set preferences!
Unistalling the iCloud plug-in resolves this but I really want to sync my iCloud calender with Outlook and can't see any other way to do it, plus it worked before and then just stopped.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I tired everything that was suggested in the forum. Tried IE and firefox to no avail. When I tried computers in stores both worked. A friend of mine who has the 32 bit setup got it to work. Several folks have stated it is the compatability issue with 64 bit. As a last resort, I loaded safari on my home computer, and yep, it works. Go figure, apple product.

ICloud Control Panel for Windows will not install on Win 7 64-bit

I already installed iTunes 10.5 and I downloaded the iCloud Control Panel for Windows and when I tried installing it I got the following error message:
I cannot find a a 64-bit of iCloud (if that is what I need). The 64-bit iTunes installed ok. What am I doing wrong?

I don't know how to answer that question, Rob, or why I would be able to. Obviously people will have different configutrations. It really just points to the question I am asking. I can only assume Adobe hasn't tested it thoroighly enough and is not making any effort to find out why, which suggests to me they don't really care enough about their users to bother. This issue has been raised often enough and nothing has been done.

ICloud 3.0 Control Panel for Windows - Non-IE Bookmark Sync

FYI
The new iCloud Control Panel for Windows 3.0 offers bookmark sync with Chrome and Firefox
I could not get the new iCloud Control Panel for Windows 3.0 to recognize bookmark sync for any browser except IE. I downloaded the Firefox add-in and enabled it but it would not show Firefox bookmark sync as an option.I tried deleting and reintstalling both the iCloud Control Panel and Firefox.
I finally solved the issue and got it work when I removed the additional profiles for Firefox.
Check your (windows) Firefox profile at:
users/yourusername/app data/roaming/mozilla/profiles
Once I deleted the additional profile and restarted Firefox and the iCloud Control Panel I was able to select Bookmark sync with Firefox or Chrome.
I hope this helps others that could not enable this option.

Hello Todd,
I too have the same problem (I can not display the "Options" button on the control panel, therefore I can not synchronize)
I looked in the profiles of Mozilla Firefox, but unfortunately I have only one profile (default profile)
How do I solve the problem?
Thank you very much
Maurizio
