Notification Area Icon Missing After SP2 Install

I recently started with a clean install of XP. Performed all the updates as
prescribed through windows update and then started loading apps again. Now
that SP2 is installed, programs such as Intel Active Monitor and SoundMax
Cadenza do not show up in the notification area anymore. I can CTRL-ALT-DEL
and see them running under the services tab, but they stop loading into the
notification area. I checked the basics, hide inactice icons and the like.
No change. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
