Wingate 6.6.4 (build 1338)
Since rebooting after the new windows updates received tuesday (14 DEC 2010), I'm having problems with the Wingate Engine Monitor that loads from the Startup menu.
a) its icon does not appear in the notification area (nee System Tray), though there is a space 'reserved' for it there.
b) it does not appear to actually be monitoring the Wingate engine... I can float the cursor over the blank spot where the icon should appear, and its tooltip pops up saying the engine is stopped (but in fact the engine is started).
See attached screengrab, below.
Area where its icon should appear is circled in red, and the monitor's (incorrect) status tooltip is in the grab, too.

Besides the monthly update of KB890830 (MSRTool), it appears these are the updates I applied:
(KB2467659) - IE8
(KB2447961) - Media Encoder
(KB2436673) - Windows Kernel
(KB2423089) - Windows Address Book
(KB2443685) - time zone update
(KB2440591) - Routing and Remote Access
(KB2443105) - Insecure Library Loading in Internet Connection Signup Wizard
(KB2296199) - OpenType Font (OTF) format driver
So it would seem one of those caused it. I'm thinking the media encoder patch and daylight savings time zone updates are not likely causes... but that still leaves the other six.
Any idea if/when there will be a work-around or outright fix for this problem?
Thanks.
