Hello again jim5840.
So, when you go to the "Startup" tab of msconfig there is no desktop agent tray or anything that looks similar to that? Before continue with the steps I outline next I'd like you to verify that you don't see anything resembling that name under either the "Services" or "Startup" tabs.
I still believe that this is an application that is being started when you boot into Windows. So the next step will be to try using a clean boot to resolve the issue. A "clean boot" means that Windows will only load its system files when it boots and will not load any applications along with it. Try the following.
- Click Start, type "msconfig," and press Enter.
- This time you will stay on the "General" tab.
- You should see "Selective Startup." Ensure that this is selected.
- De-select "load startup items."
- Apply the changes and reboot the notebook.
- Post the result.
I will await your reply; have a great day!

Thank you, and I don't see any 'white star' to click under for cudos though?
But ...
It seems to have cured the problem of the 'desktop agent tray has stopped working' notification at startup?
Thanks again ...
