Are you talking about the file, edit, view, etc. buttons?

He means the task bar (start bar)!!

so the start button and system tray disappear when you start up something? That doesn't make much since.

I think he means that they dont show up in the task bar but the program is open! Do you have any kind of extra bar like rocketdock or objectdock?

theshiznit024 · 04-20-2008, 09:01 PM

no none of that.. The task bar is there its just when i open a application such as firefox or w/e is dosent show on the taskbar.

Have you tried a system restore to a previous point yet? If not than do that!
