I didnt read through all of the posts but i had a similar issue, I lost
my battery and network icons from my system tray after installation of
Vista service pack 1 on my HP Pavillion dv2718 laptop and restarts did
not help at all. I also had the options to turn them on greyed out in
the toolbar properties. In addition, my computer would not re-initiate
after it went into sleep mode and would crash and have to be hard reset
anytime it went into sleep. I did not feel comfortable messing with the
regedit.

After many hours with vista tech support, a senior tech called me back
the next day and had me update my BIOS from the HP website specific to
my machine. There was a more current version available so we downloaded
that. After that, it was all back to good. Thought you all may want to
know. - try this first!
