The first thing I saw after turning on my computer to day was:
Text version:
Kvm-221verb
---------------------------
Error reading TrayIcon1->Visible: Cannot create shell notification icon.
I had some time to search for the error (couldn’t open VS since I was installing the new Resharper EAP Build). So I searched for what it means.
Kvm-221verb (or actually “KVM-221 Ver B Utility”)– is a program I have installed which helps with an AB switch I have (it allows me to listen to my music from one computer while still working with another and when I want to switch the sound to the other computer).
But the error doesn’t come from that program – it comes from Windows7 system. The system is trying to tell us (in it’s illiterate way) that our utility tried to load prematurely – before there was a system tray.
So what do we do?
Well there are many options, I choose a nice little program called Startup Delayer that is easy to work. You simply find the problematic program in their list:
Double Click on the line:
And click Save.
Closing the window you will get this warning:
Click Yes
Click Invisible.
That’s it next time you start your computer the program will be delayed for 1 minute – more than enough time!
