Bootcamp Icon missing from system tray...

On the 1st computer (iMac) that I installed BootCamp with Win 7, I have an icon in the lower left system tray for changing the booting choice.

Today I installed BootCamp on my wife's new Mac Mini and the icon is missing from the system tray. While it was about 6 weeks ago that I put BootCamp on my iMac, I don't remember doing anything that cause the Windows system tray to display the boot choice icon for BootCamp/Win 7.

Anyone have an idea about how I can get that icon to appear on the Mac Mini.

Both systems are running Snow Leopard with the latest software.

MacBook 3.1 S.R. Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz 4GB, Mac OS X (10.6), IT 8GB-IP 3Gs 32GB-Nano 16GB-21.5 IM

My problem with Webroot is the same.
I just uninstalled Webroot because I saw on their website, that Bootcamp is not supported. I had the hanging issue when I installed and it freaked me out. Thank goodness for the mac reset button!
Now I need to reinstall Bootcamp drivers and will try suggestion posted.

Now I'm thinking, since I can't find another to replace it, I may put up with the icon issue.
(I used Webroot because we have coverage for 3 computers, one being the PC desktop at home)
Any other better solutions out there for antivirus for Bootcamp?

Try reinstalling the Apple drivers/software for windows by popping in the OSX installer disk when you are in windows.

Do you have the Boot Camp pane in the Windows Control Panel? Same difference if you do.

Bunji's response above will probably solve your problem.
