Navigating between applications

[Guest Ross]

Hi,

 

My ability to navigate between applications has changed and I have been

unable to find out how to fix my trouble. In the past, I could click on an

icon on the bottom of my window and navigate to that application. For

instance, if I had several email messages open in Outlook, I could click on

the Outlook icon on the bottom of my screen, a list of the email messages

would appear and then by selecting one of those messages, I would immediately

navigate to that message.

 

Now when I attempt to do the same thing, nothing occurs and the general

Outlook icon on the bottom ofthe screen remains highlighted. This occurs with

all open applications. The only way for me to now navigate between open

applications is to ALT-TAB.

 

Any ideas on how to resolve this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Use System Restore to return the machine to a few days before

this problem started.
