telweth Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 (edited) My taskbar has been acting very funny; any programs I start do not show up! It's very bothersome, as I have to open the task manager everytime I want to change from one program to another (or else have my view filled with a clutter of miscallenious programs). If I minimize them, they disappear.Title Edited - Please follow new posting rules from now on.--Zxian Edited December 29, 2005 by Zxian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Snrub Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 But you can see the Start button, task bar and system tray?If you ALT-TAB between the tasks, does it restore the window if it was minimized?If you have some applications running and resize/relocate the task bar do they appear?Do system tray icons and the time display and update correctly?If you hover the mouse cursor over a system tray icon do you get a tooltip pop up?Does this happen for all users?
