Notification area not displaying icons correctly

[Guest The Stoat]

Hi all,

 

The notification area on my task bar is not displaying icons correctly.

When the 'hide inactive icons' is checked there are two arrows on the

notification area and when I click one to display the hidden icons the arrow

goes two the left leaving behind a series of vertical lines. When 'hide

inactive icons' is unchecked there are thicker vertical lines, the area is a

black or white block or it is simply transparent.

 

Any ideas anyone?

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Matt.
