Greetings one and All

I have a PC running windows 7 and up until recently everything was running sweet but now i have a bit of a strange prob.

When i right click/double click on some icons that have been minimized to the systray nothing happens this is a new phenomenon to me it happens on progs such as u torrent or Dragon Naturally Speaking. But the windows system icons are all fine if i click on them..

Any help would be appreciated

    Are they programs you've recently installed and the icons have never worked?
    How do I add a signature?

    Use CCleaner to reset the notification area icons. Under the Advanced settings, check the Tray notification cache and click Run Cleaner..
