Task Bar Problem
by Guest David Vincent-Jones- 2 replies
- 280 views
We have a problem with the Task Bar on a laptop. The task bar suddenly showed up as a small white strip on the left side of the screen. I can make/pull this wider and at least now see the entire bar but it appears to be firmly stuck down the left hand side of the screen with the start button in the top left corner. I would appreciate a remedy for this problem. Thank you; David

Hard Drive partitions

I just bought a used Gateway computer from a neighbor and I've bumped into a problem that's causing myself to ask: what the hell was this person thinking! The Gateway contains Windows 2000 on it on a 9.52 or 10.00 Gigabyte hard drive but the big mistake he made is that he created three other partitions on the basic disk of the drive and the main drive C:\ where Windows stores the software files is the one that's loosing all the storage space and the rest are all beefed up. I've tried to fix this problem using Disk Management in the Administrative Tools section of the control panel and tried to see what happens by deleting the E:\ partition. I taught t…

Explorer.exe Crashes
by Guest mikeg- 3 replies
- 329 views
Explorer.exe crashes and restarts on one of my Windows 2000 Server SP4 servers, whenever I attempt to change any file or folder (delete,move, copy, rename, etc.) in Windows Explorer. You can browse folders with no problem, but if you try to change anything Windows Explorer and all desktop icons disappear without displaying any error and the desktop icons return after Explorer.exe restarts a few seconds later. The only way to make file and folder changes is in a CMD Window. At first I suspected a bad user profile, but this happens no matter what user account we use. Unfortunately this problem started such a long time ago (more than a year) I couldn't beg…

imaginary sound card keeps installing itself?
by Guest jbclem- 3 replies
- 261 views
Everytime I uninstall it, and reboot, this non existent Yamaha DS1 sound card installs itself. This is preventing my real sound card that I just bought (Turtle Beach Santa Cruz) from installing itself. The old sound card managed to co-exist with the imaginary one, but the Santa Cruz won't. I've gone through the registry and removed all references to Yamaha (some keys wouldn't delete until I changed their permissions). That takes 30 minutes...then on the next reboot they/it reinstall. I've uninstalled the Yamaha in Device Manager but it comes right back. Is there a way I can prevent plug and play from reinstalling this Yamaha sound card. It is not present on t…

Task Bar "always on top": NOT!
by Guest surface9- 5 replies
- 347 views
I have selected "always on top" and "auto hide" for my taskbar (which normally appears on the bottom for me). I then run a slide show which allows me to display the cursor during the slide show, and, I can move the mouse around, BUT, when I move the movue to the bottom, the task bar DOES NOT APPEAR. It remains hidden. When I go through the very same steps in windows 98se, the task bar will appear during the slide show if, and only if, I move the cursor to the bottom. How do I get windows 2000 (sp4) to accomodate the "always on top" aspect of the taskbar under "auto hide" while a slide show is in progress and I move the cursor to the bottom area where the t…
