I am running XPSP2 Pro on a Tosh Laptop and have an intermittent problem.
When I boot up my laptop I sometimes have odd program icons missing from the
taskbar. Task Monitor shows that the programs are running but they have no
icon displayed and so cannot be accessed. This seems to happen randomly with
random programs. If I click the associated desktop icon, sometimes the
program then opens and sometimes I get a message like "the program is
already running" but when I minimise, the program icon once again doesn't
appear in the taskbar. The next time I boot the laptop, it might happen
again of it might not and it might not be the same program icons that are
missing!
I must admit to being totally baffled! I've been looking at this for weeks
trying to find a common denominator but can't. Anyone else got any ideas or
ever experienced this problem?
