Missing icons

[quote user="Vincent Fatica"]

Pegasus 4.61 has been running for 2 days (Win7/32 Pro).  When I most recently restored it from the tray, most (not all) of the toolbar icons were missing.  Simply moving the mouse across the toolbar brought them back.  Very strange!

Vincent,

 I have seen similar reports on this forum at various times. I recall that some have had success in reducing the level of hardware acceleration for their graphics adapter. That might be something to consider exploring. Also, searching the forum for something like "missing toolbar icons" may produce other options.

It sounds as if something allowed the machine to "sleep" or the drive to spin down when it went to low power mode. Did you forget to close winpm-32 before letting machine  go into low power and reduced cpu and power mode? What mode is machine set to? Is it a  portable and what power mode when you close the lid? If you are going to leave winpm running all the time then you are going to have to set machine to desktop mode. If you are going to use laptop mode then make sure you exit winpm beforehand when you are going to close lid and let machine sleep or hibernate. Did you also have .lck files too?

Also it is very easy to get more than one instance yet only icon for one showing. Use task manager to make sure all other instances are shut down also. Recheck options in Tools, Options, Interface, Reporting and logging to make sure have unchecked the block to hide icon...

Win7 knows how to properly shut down and/or restore hibernating programs if they are MSWindows own. Win7 does not know or control winpm-32.

 There is no powering down, sleeping, or hibernating here.  It's a desktop.  Hibernation is turned off and PutTheComputerToSleep = never.  I never have more than one instance running.  And besides, my report deals with the TOOLBAR icons (not the tray icon).
