Have you tried going to that same area, scrolling to the Nvidia icon, and saying "Hide icon and notifications" just for that icon? This is a drop-down box, not a check box.

yes but u cant use the dropdown box (its grayed out) until you uncheck "always show..." and then the arrow appears in the tray...

im thinking the solution is something in the registry?

Just to make sure I understand what you are wanting:

1) You want to hide the Nvidia icon so that it never shows

2) You want to see all of the icons in the bottom-right without needing to click the arrow

Is this right?

I quickly tried looking for a way to do it, but I couldn't find one. I can look more thoroughly when I get back to my dorm tonight. The only thing I found was checking the box that you checked, but that would show the Nvidia icon, which you don't want.

Hello. I was wondering if some1 else has noticed the weird sound coming from the hdd. It is kinda hard to describe it, the sound is actually very quiet and i can hear it only when there is complete silence. The sound repeats after 30-60 seconds. Usually when the sound appears the laptop stucks for 1-2 sec. I haven't seen any lag when i am playing games or watching movies. For example it lags when i use excel/word, browsing the web, looking into my folders...
It has been a problem since i bought the laptop.

If it is a soft clicking sound, it is perfectly normal. That is just the hard drive's power-saving mode/state.

Otherwise, I would recommend downloading Acronis Disk Monitor and telling me what the percentages are for the hard drive. I only need the ones that aren't 100%, because 100% is good.

I have an odd or stupid question....

Does anyone know if replacing the stock ram say for a better name brand company with a faster speed will make any difference with the laptops, or is it a moot point and a waste of money?

I was just wondering since RAM is so inexpensive now....

Thanks in advance )

Different name brands are moot. As for higher speed rams, you'd probably won't find any noticeable difference in your system's overall performance unless you plan to overclock your CPU.

@ David.

Thanks for the info. I kind of assumed as much. I couldnt find any info regarding factory installed RAM vs. Name brand RAM that was sufficient. ome forums said yes, other said no, so..... I will save my 40.00.
Thanks
