SteelSeries Engine Start to System Tray

I've tried disabling the SteelSeries Engine on Windows start up, but two or three reboots later the software starts up again automatically and the option to Launch on Startup is checked again. How does someone disable it permanently?
Or, since that shuts off the whole Engine and I kind of like the colors on the keyboard, is there a way to start the software minimized to the system tray in Windows 8.1? Having the whole window come up whenever I start up is kind of annoying. I have not been able to find an option to start to tray.
SteelSeries Engine 2.8.445.23476 if it matters.

If you disable the SSE program from runing your keyboard backlight wont function it will either remain off or stuck as RED color so SSE must be runing for it to be in a color you want
Also i should auto minimize after first boot :/

Auto starting iTunes - minimized to system tray.

Is there a way to have iTunes startup in the system tray? I have a business process using Video iPods where my clients have asked about this capability. There are a number of 'internal' podcasts that our sales force subscribes to and having iTunes start in the system tray allows this process to work background rather than 'in your face'.
<I've tried putting it in the startup group minimized, but it has no effect>.
Thanks for your help.

Yes. In itunes, edit/preferences/advanced. Check the boxes "show itunes in system tray" and "minimize itunes window to system tray".
Then, drag the itunes shortcut to the startup folder in the start menu. Right click the new shortcut in the startup folder and select properties, then the shortcut tab. In the "run" drop list select "minimized". Itunes will open when your computer starts and minimize to the system tray.

T61 screen and system tray flicker on and off during start up

When I start up my T61, under XP Pro SP3:
The screen dimms slightly during the welcome to windows message, and three seconds later returns to normal.
Then, just before the system tray and battery life icons appear, the screen flickers off then on, and a black rectangle appears in the bottom right corner.
The black rectangle dissapears and the system tray replaces it.
Is this normal?
If not, what is wrong with my Think Pad?
After this seemingly odd behaviour, I get a message telling me that I have no wireless connection.
Then, all is good and my thinkpad suffers no other performance issues.
Please could somone give me details as to why my Think Pad boots up in this manner?

I do think you mean thinkpad, Thinkcentre is the desktop.
During your initial startup, press the blue thinkvantage button, which hopefully will take you into the Rescue and Recovery, from which select restore to factory setting.
Alternatively, burn yourself a set of recovery media from Start -> Program -> Thinkvantage -> Create Recovery Media -> Recovery disks. And use that disk to restore your laptop to factory state. <- Even if you don't use this step, it is a good idea to burn a set of recvoery disks.

GE70 Apache and Steelseries Engine

So I have had my computer for quite a while now and the Steelseries engine was working fine, until one day the Engine stopped working, so I had to reinstall it. But when I had reinstalled it, it had said "Please Connect A Steelseries Engine - compatible device to start". The keyboard still works fine and it glows but for I'm just not able to change the colors anymore. Please help!

System Tray Status Error Message

HP CP1025nw. XP. with USB connection. Printer works fine, but gives error message on screen, "HP Systems Tray has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvienience." "Please tell Microsoft about this problem. (send or Don't send)"
I get 2 copies of this error message (one at a time) wnen the computer is booted up (even if the printer off and USB unplugged) and 2 copies in addition for each "print command" from all various application sources. The printer works fine and prints are fine and there no functional issues. If the driver is uninstalled, then there are no error messages at boot-up. Latest HP driver is installed, same problem as with driver on OEM disc.
(a screen copy of error message is avialable)
Ronpro

Hi Ronpro,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are getting a message "HP Systems Tray has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvienience." "Please tell Microsoft about this problem".
I will be happy to help you.
I believe the error is for the HP Device Settings options for the printer maintenance located on the Windows system tray.
I would run a full uninstall and reinstall. Turn off any startup programs interfering and temporarily turn off the Antivirus Software to get the full software installed properly.
Disconnect the USB cable first.
Uninstalling the Printer Software.
I would disable all the start up programs to make sure something in the background isn't causing any issues.
Go to start, run, type in msconfig, click the Services tab.
Click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box.
Click Disable All, and then click OK.
Click on the start up tab across the top, select disable all, apply, OK and restart the computer.
Temporarily turn off the Antivirus software.
Then reinstall the printer software again.
Full Feature Software and Driver.
Test the printer.
Check to see if the Device Settings feature will now open.
Cleaning the Paper Path and Exterior.
Restart the computer to see if the error comes up again.
Then go back in and enable the startup programs and Microsoft services and turn the Anitivirus software back on.
If the issue comes back after turning on the startup programs, I would leave everything unchecked except the Antivirus Software.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a great day.

Can't mount Time Capsule on PC (white system tray icon no longer there)

My new time capsule is working perfectly on my MacBookPro, however recently I tried to get it to work on my PC laptop. I easily got the wireless internet work on the PC, that's not a problem. I installed the airport utility on my PC and it was able to recognize it through the airport utility interface/configuring window where I could change settings, etc., just like I could on my Mac. There used to be (on my PC) this white icon in my system tray on the lower right of my screen. When I clicked on this I could type my password, as prompted, and mount to the time capsule, which I could now see in My Computer as a drive. I tested a few files by dragging them over into the drive, and it worked fine. Now, a week later the icon in the system tray has disappeared, and I can no longer see the time capsule on my PC in My Computer. I can still click on the airport utility icon in my programs and see/change settings in my time capsule from my PC, but cannot see nor access the drive from My Computer (or mount by clicking on this now missing icon). Anyone else know what I can do? Thanks in advance!

I was just having this problem and figured out that the white system tray icon is the Airport Base Station Agent. It wasn't running for me for some reason, too, but I found it and started it back up again at C:\Program Files\AirPort\APAgent.exe.
Here's an Apple Support article (it's a little old) I found that discusses drive mapping in windows with the Airport Base Station Agent: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1331
Hope this helps.

Laserjet CP1025nw HP system tray has stopped working

I bought this printer a month ago and about a week ago I started getting the error“HPCP1020SM.exe (64 bit) has stopped working.” then click close then“HP system tray has stopped working.” appears click close. the printer will still print but these errors continue to come up every time I print. I called HP support but they have no clue. Thanks for who ever can help.

Hi Have you tried installing the basic driver, and the basic driver update to see if you have the same issue? Let me know if you have the same issue using the basic driver. Can you also provide me a screenshot of the error message you are receiving?

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!

Reporting Services not automatically starting. System event log 7009, Application event: 18456

For the past month (since Oct 11,2012) reporting services (SSRS 2008R2) is not starting after the server is rebooted. The service is set to automatically start and starts manually without a problem. The system event log contains the following error:
Event ID 7009: A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER) service to connect.
SQL logs :
The SQL logs has many "Event 18456 Login Failed, State 38" errors when the database engine starts. I assume clients conections are failing because the databases aren't online yet. None of these 18456 errors coorespond to the account reporting services
runs under.
The SQL logs indication Event 7009 occures before the "ReportingServer" database is online so im assuming there is a dependancy but I don't know how to avoid this.
This problem is occuring on a number of our servers running SSRS (if not all)
Any ideas?
Paul

Hi A141695,
For Event ID 7009, you can try to do the steps below to resolve it.
    1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
    2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
    3. Right-click Control, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
    4. In the New Value #1 box, type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press ENTER.
    5. Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
    6. Click Decimal, type the number of milliseconds that you want to wait until the service times out, and then click OK.
For example, to wait 60 seconds before the service times out, type 60000.
Quit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer. For more information about it, please see:

Need to Lock down Keyboard Manager System Tray Icon

I run 27 MacBooks at a Secondary School. I have them setup for Windows XP Pro (I'll be setting up the Mac OS over then next few weeks but this is a MS Windows School so lets start slow). Hoever I need to be able to disable the "Boot Mac OS" option on the Keyboard Manager. But still have access to Volume and Eject etc Keys.
Solution: 1
a .adm file so that I can contol what is avilable to students through Group Policy (disable reboot in Mac, Disable Boot Camp First time Run Help Screen)
Solution 2
A Keyboard driver that will make all the Keys work (and remote if possible) but has no System tray Icon
Solution 3
Hide the System tray icon (as say an option in the Boot Camp Control Panel which I can already disable through group policy) then all I need to kill is the anoying first time run help screen.
The help screen is anoying because for each of the 800 student will probably only login into each laptop once each so that will come up every time, because I reimage every 3 months or so.
The reboot in Mac OS would be no problem if it did not perminatly change to boot order and the Mac OS side boot change back is too complicated for most first time Mac users. The way I will be introducing the Mac OS is telling them about the hold the "option" key trick on boot. hence the dummys will get what they are expecting, and the smarties have the option without afecting the dummys.
I relise this is a Devolopers thing but I can find no other way to inform them of the need. I dout I am the only System admin needing this.
Thank You

Unfortunately no that did not help
Using msconfig only stops the Keyboard Manager from running. I can do that simply be removing it from the registry with out the annoying msconfig messages. (good for testing though)
I have also looked into the Hide tray Icon Path but that only tucks it behind a set of “<<”
And the reboot function does Permanently Change the Boot Order. (Not the boot sector necessarily, The Boot Order) to change it back you need to login into the Mac OS and System Prefs Disk Boot Select the Boot Camp Part and Reboot …… Big Pain in neck.
The Keyboard Manager icon does not have an eject option… If is needed for the Eject Key to work (and the Volume Mute, Up, Down, Brightness Up, Down. Note it is not Needed for the Play FF Rew Keys they work fine with the Fn Key)
Here is the test
With no icon showing, or an icon with no reboot option : Press The Eject Key if the CD Ejects Success, I also need Volume do not care about the others as much
As Stated this is a Developer( Programmer) oversite and needs them to put in an option to remove the reboot option from the System tray Icon. Removal of the Icon would also be desirable
Thank You

Bootcamp Icon missing from system tray...

On the 1st computer (iMac) that I installed BootCamp with Win 7, I have an icon in the lower left system tray for changing the booting choice.
Today I installed BootCamp on my wife's new Mac Mini and the icon is missing from the system tray. While it was about 6 weeks ago that I put BootCamp on my iMac, I don't remember doing anything that cause the Windows system tray to display the boot choice icon for BootCamp/Win 7.
Anyone have an idea about how I can get that icon to appear on the Mac Mini.
Both systems are running Snow Leopard with the latest software.

Macaby there are two separate components of Boot Camp. First is Assistant which runs on the Mac side of things from OS X. It creates/deletes the Windows partition which is necessary to install Windows. Next the Boot Camp Panel software which is installed once you have successfully installed and are running Windows. It allows tweaking of the Apple hardware from within Windows. It is installed using the OS X disc and does not jeopardize your installed Windows OS in any way. This disc also contains the hardware driver necessary to optimize the hardware in Windows. In my experience this disc has never started via autorun so you will most likely have to locate the Boot Camp folder and run the setup.exe file manually.
Don't know how much your wife uses Windows but if it's running well enough then you may want to leave it alone. Check device manager in Windows for any red or yellow punctuation marks. This will indicate a potential driver issue in Windows. Also check the Windows Experience Index for performance issues. A 1 anywhere indicates a driver issue. If you have no driver issues and Windows is running well enough you may want to leave it at that.

NB200 - Notifications in system tray area

Every few seconds I get an annoying pop-up notification in the system tray area that informs me of 'Blocked Events' These are all IPv4 TCP or UDP events. I'd really like to turn off these notifications but despite extensive internet searching I can't find out how to do this. I've tried the Action Centre and tried the obvious Firewall settings but nothing will stop them. I find them intensely annoying.
I have a NB200-12W running Windows 7 Home Prmium (a recent upgrade from Windows 7 Starter Edition). - the issue occurs under both versions. initially I used the installed McAfee security suite but uninstalled that and I'm using F-secure 2009 Internet Security suite for which I have a currently valid license.
The system is wirelessly connected to my BT Home hub router and is connected via the HomeGroup to two PCs. The other two computers are connected via ethernet cables to the router and both run on Windows 7 Home Premium with Avira internet security. I don't get the pop-ups on these machines.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

What program is generating the alerts - are you sure its f-secure or could it be the widows firewall or mcafee? I don't know anything about f-secure (other than I couldn't find a 2009 manual on their web site) but I would suggest that it will keep a log of events and that when you get close to the "option" that displays (and I would expect clears) it you will also find an option about displaying the event.
Re my comment about what program is generating it - are you happy that you have removed all traces of mcafee? Have you run msconfig and looked at the services and startup tabs for any trace? Also look in task manager for any traces : in the services tab click on description to sort and look for mcafee starting the description similar in the processes but I think you would only ever have had 1 mcafee entry.
I think this should have been the first para. Have you created/amended any firewall rules? The log file should give the ip address of the source event and is that in the range of ip addresses of your home network? and since you are bt internet customer do you have a bt vision pvr and is that the source?

How do I get iTunes to startup minimized to the system tray?

I have iTunes (7) starting up with Windows -- in a normal window. How do I toggle it to start up with Windows, but minimized to the system tray?

I don't know about toggling it, but if you right
click on your iTunes shortcut and select properties,
on the Shortcut tab, you will see a Run: drop down
menu. This gives you of a choice of window - normal,
max and min.
The right-click menu on the icon (in the system tray) doesn't have a 'run' choice.
