I am on my father's computer:
1.99GHz; Pentium 4; 512 RAM
Windows XP Home SP2.
(Can't imagine this issue has anything to do with computer configuration)
I noticed that when I maximize a browser window, an application window, and
apparently, any window, the Start button, task bar, quick launch -- all that
stuff at the bottom --- disappears. To find it, he has to either minimize or
restore down all the windows. This doesn't seem right, esp. when he needs to
open a new program, get to documents, access Control Panel, and so on. I
checked the settings and everything appears normal. The taskbar is not locked
(and even if it is, same behavior), the only toolbar on is Quick Launch. I
tried switching things around to test our different scenarios -- no change.
Searched KBs for this and the Web; found nothing. Anyone have any ideas?
I've never seen this behavior -- every odd. Dad says it's the gremlins
again...
