The Dropbox icon has disappeared from my system tray.

Hi,

The dropbox icon disapeared from the icon tray on this computer, and while I can view my folders in windows explorer, dropbox is not updating on this computer.

When click the hidden icon items arrow, and then click customise, the list shows dropbox  with "show icon and notifications" selected

Your help would be much appreciated 

This only happened today as the file I wanted to print only give me the version updaed yesterday where as it was updated on another computer earlier today.

Can't find where to post a picture?

    Have you tried launching Dropbox from your Start menu?

    Thank You Rich,
