    Taskbar Problems


    Good morning,

    My taskbar demonstrates the following problems:
    - when my mouse hovers over a taskbar icon, the open documents are not those of that application, but of one next to it or often, a running application which isn't listed.
    - not all of my open applications are on the taskbar, and there is no ability to
    - after a short while, the clock and the entire right block disappears and is a white box
    - even after i close an application, the duplicate icon (for the open files) remains

    It's driving me crazy! The only thing that fixes it is a reboot, and that's only a temporary fix. Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated...Leisha

    The first thing I notice is you have 124 processes running. That is a huge amount.
    Could you post a picture of all your Start Up programs using msconfig/Start Up.

    Example:

    You could have so many things going on that their is no room on the Taskbar or the Taskbar is doubling up.

This computer is about a year old now and it's starting to feel like the old one.
