Guest JungleJim Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Win XP Pro w/SP2. My taskbar always showed the applications that were running until a couple of days ago. Then it will no longer show the application that is running. BUT I can get to them by pressing Alt + Tab. This is much more difficult to use than just clicking on the Icon in the taskbar. I tried 7 times to restore my PC to a previous point but it failed on all 7 tries. Can anyone please tell me how to get the taskbar to show the programs that are running on the PC? Thanks in advance for any help. JungleJim -- Jungle Jim

Guest JungleJim Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Re: Taskbar Problem I downloaded it and ran it but it did not fix the problem. There are three drop-down areas and maybe I did not make the right selections in one or more of them. I did my best but it did not work. Thanks for your response. -- Jungle Jim "Nepatsfan" wrote: > "JungleJim" <JungleJim@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:304231DC-D3A1-4BF4-AB1F-0ECD8DEB8DDA@microsoft.com... > > Win XP Pro w/SP2.

Guest Nepatsfan Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Re: Taskbar Problem In the first drop down box, Taskbar Problems, click on Minimized Programs Missing so it's highlighted. Hit the Repair button.
