Hi all.
I've been suffering this new problem for a fortnight, now.
Once after a reboot my taskbar (XP SP2) has stopped responding at all. I
get the 'not possible' sound whenever I click anywhere on the bar (start
button, quick launch, clock, systray). Nothing is greyed out. Just looks
disabled.
The Windows key will work but only if I click once on the taskbar (as if
to get the focus there). The best I can do is open the task manager,
close explorer.exe and start it again, then launch a couple of missing
programs that stopped with explorer. The taskbar is then back to normal.
Strangely enough, apart from this particular annoyance, everything seems
to be working just fine. PC is quite stable (I run all sorts of apps,
like games, heavy music editing, heavy video editing, etc.) and doesn't
need any reboot for days or weeks.
Any help is really appreciated.
Sam.
