OS X problem

[starbuck17]

I have a really wierd problem with my computer. Ever since yesterday the time, date, airport, bluetooth, battery display and spotlight have been mysteriously missing from the bar in the top right corner of my screen. Every couple of seconds the time and battery power appear on the bar but then they immediatly dissappear.

Im completely baffled by this and i was wondering if any of you guys could give a suggestion of how to fix this.

Thanks.

also, it isnt a problem with Front Row or anything like that because i never had that on my computer in the first place.

I run a 1.33 GHz iBook G4 with Mac OS X version 10.4.7.

Have you checked in System Preferences for the settings of those particular missing items? Some of them allow you to disable the menu icon. You might have to re-enable it.

no they are all enabled, im pretty sure its a problem with the SystemUIServer.

I haven't had this problem, but might there be a .plist file that you might be able to trash?
