Post by watters »

my tool bar thingy at the bottom of the screen keeps coming and going as it likes! when it appears i try clicking on any of the simbols (internet explorer,control panel ect) but when i put the mouse over it the egg timer comes up and i cant click anything! ive tried ctrl+alt+del and tried running explorer.exe, it makes it come back for a few seconds then buggers off again!!! any ideas?

Try right clicking on it when it appears and go to properties at the bottom then look at the second one down and it says 'auto hide the task bar' just make sure it is UNticked and you should be ok.......

Keep a hammer and nail beside the monitor. When the toolbar appears next whack the nail into it. That should keep it there :D 8)

If its XP and it might be the same for vista, go START, Control panel,TASKBAR AND START MENU, then untick the second one down (autohide the taskbar)and make sure there's a tick in the third one down(keep the taskbar on top of other windows)....... :)
