I have had a strange thing happen to my task bar. It looked normal until I had a computer lock up after installing a new virus program called Kaspersky. My lock up happened right after I installed the new virus program and started removing the McAfee program that came installed with the computer. The computer is only a few days old.
When the computer restarted instead of the regular task bar at the bottom of the screen my task bar shows two little icons with no words and a up down arrow bar. If there are more than two items opened you have to use the up down arrow to find the screen you want and click on it. This is very annoying because I am always working several things at the same time and it takes for ever to keep going back and forth with these little arrows.
I am one of your clueless users. I have been off line for 8 years with no computer. Things have changed drastically since I last worked with computers. My last operating system was ME and I still worked through DOS a lot because that was what I was comfortable with.
I am telling you this because I am having to relearn everything to do with computers and am very clueless about many things. I do follow instructions pretty well. <G>
I have used the right click on the area where the task bar is and these are the checked items: Lock the task bar
Under properties: everything is checked except auto hide taskbar.
I have windows Vista on a Dell Studio laptop if this helps. I am not sure what else I need to tell you. Thanks for your help.
