My taskbar is all messed up!: My Start button is not
a "button"
anymore, it's a green bar. That horizontal bar that goes
from the left
to the right side of my desktop with just the windows
logo on the left
side. If I click on it the start menu appears.
My taskbar is just a blue blue bar with no links at all,
below the
green bar. Yes, I have already gone to the taskbar
properties and
tried to have the quick launch show and everything else
too, but
nothing comes up! I tried dragging to see if anything
was "hidden"
somewhere but nothing. To the right of the task bar, is
it a lighter
blue area, the only links that appear there are the date
and part of a
link...
In addition, if I go to the display link on the control
panel of if I
do a right click on the desktop and click on property,
nothing
happens! That's just as strange!
This problem started about 2-3 weeks ago. I did
a "restore" going back
a month but didn't help either...
I tried setting up a new user. Under that new user,
everything looks
fine.

Anybody can help with that?....please...

Thank you.
 
Sounds to me like your OS got corrupt or you may have a
virus or bad memory. Try to boot your system in safe
mode and see if these problems still occur if so
reinstall the Operating System, if not something inside
of windows is corrupt or not enough memory.

Good luck!

you could simply put all the stuff you nee, important
stuff into a new folder, then copy and paste that folder
in to you new user account. this is probably the best
stress free way to do it.
