Hi...
I am running Windows XP pro SP2 and have just upgraded to Office 2007
and Norton Internet Security 2007 from Office 2003 and NIS 2006....all seemed
to be fine and working as it should....on startup the following day I noticed
that if I minimise a task then it doesn't appear on the taskbar anymore....I
can still switch tasks using alt-tab but it is quite inconvenient not being
able to see at a glance what is active.....any ideas suggestions very
welcome....

Regards
Ian

In my opinion you are better off without NIS, or any of the Norton home
security products. There are better, less resource intensive alternatives
that are much less problematic.
