Taskbar Problems

[Leisha]

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.
