battery status not on taskbar

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Just a few hours ago, the little battery in the lower right hand corner of
the windows xp home taskbar disappeared and won't come back. Any ideas on
what could cause this?
thanks,
Richard

It actually came back on it's own one time when I turned on the computer a
few days later.
