open windows dont show up on the taskbar

August 4, 2007

Hello peeps,

I came home from work last night, and when i turned on my pc I noticed that

when ever i open a new window it dose not show up on the taskbar!

I went to the properties and everything was how i always have it set up!? I

normaly have the quick launch on the left next to the start button and the

language bar in the right. The open windows normaly show up on the blank blue

space in the middle on the taskbar, but they dont. If i press ALT+TAB the

open windows show up in a box in the middle of my screen but not on the

taskbar. If i close the quicklaunch toolbar then the whole taskbar disapiers

(even if its locked) I dont think this is ment to happen!

I scanned my pc overnight for viruses and spyware but nothing was found,

any ideas whats causing these enoying symptoms?

Many thanks

Ben
