I have a problem with my taskbar. It seems that all the sudden it is not working properly. My quicklinks, clock and start button are there but the programs I have open are not there. Sometimes they are ontop of the taskbar when they are minimized but other times I can't see them. I use the alt->tab keys to get to them. Help...
I just recently acquired this same problem. I can't find anywhere that it mentions this toolbar able to turn off, let alone back on if it is missing. Supposedly my warranty only covers hardware, and software support is $99 a pop. Nice try. So I'm stuck scouring forums to find a solution. Yours is the closest I've found to my problem. How did you fix it!!!!
That looks like a great sight. I'll have to try it out; however I just got off the phone with Microsoft using up one of my 2 free service calls to have them help me resolve the issue. It turns out that something in my log in account profile was corupted. They had me create a new user account and helped me copy over my user settings. So the new profile is working, but if your website can help me correct my old profile, then I won't have to waste a bunch more time reconfiguring the new profile. Thanks!
I downloaded the file from the website, and it fixed the problem on my currupted profile! A few downsides however are that the fix reset my taskbar so the buttons were there but all my customizations were gone. After I got it set up again the way I wanted and rebooted, I found that the fix appearently wasn't permanent. Once I logged back on, the profile was having the same problems again. I ran the file again, which again, reset my taskbar bringing back the buttons but losing all my customiztions. Bitter-sweet I guess. Maybe to avoid the hassle, I'll just set up the new profile once and be done with it. Thanks for the help.
