missing menu bar info

i just installed 10.4 on my powerbook, and now nothing shows up where the time/date, wireless signal, etc usually is. well...almost nothing. i have norton antivirus installed and that icon/menu is there and the 'spotlight' icon keeps appearing and disappearing, but i can't use it at all.

i've tried going into system preferences and noticed that the time/date was not set to be displayed on the menu bar, so i tried checking that option. but i still got nothing. when i went back to try again and saw that the time/date was once again not set to be displayed. and its the same type story for the language and sound menus.

any ideas on how to get all those menus to show up again? and get spotlight to start working?

thanks.
 
i just shut the powerbook down to leave and noticed that after i confirm the shutdown process, all the items that are supposed to be on the menu bar appear. could there be some kind of conflict with icons that are supposed to be in the menu bar or something?
 
Norton isn't working in 10.4, and it is no longer supported, so you could remove that and see if it removes the rest of the problems too.
 
i uninstalled norton, but it didn't help. i also reinstalled the OS and run the repair disk permissions with no success.
