Ok folks. Ran into the same problem. Windows XP has a setting for hiding those
icons not used for a while that are in the systray. Given all that everyone has
explained, I think this is the problem. Now, this is what we need to turn off.
Microsoft is trying to help us again.

Hi Dana,
I don't think it is a problem with Jaws necessarily.
There may be a valid reason for it, or just one of those quirky things about
computers.
I would just let it go for now, and place a shortcut for it where you
wantit.
As long as you can access the volume control, it really doesn't matter how.
HTH,
Ricque

I think that is probably the best solution, and what I will probably fall
back on as a final solution. But I sill wish I could figure out why the icon
in the system tray just isn't being pick up by JAWS. Does this indicate
something wrong with JAWS, or my configuration, or should I just forget
about it; I guess that's what bothering me most.
Blessed Be,
Dana
