Yup, that's the one the Microsoft support person gave me the link to, and
password for, yesterday. I installed it yesterday afternoon, and as of
this
AM, my taskbar is still stable. It could be that this is, finally, the
fix to
a very frustrating problem. I've notified Dell support.
:
I was referring to the one cited in the preceding comment.

I told the Microsoft rep about your solution, and he found a "hotfix"
that
may or may not be the one you're talking about. So, could you please
do me a
biiiiig favor and post the exact URL to the hotfix that worked for
you, or at
least the exact name of it? Many, many thanks!!!
:
I had the same sort of problem, and the hotfix solved it. What you
have to
do is contact Microsoft customer support and ask for it. They will
email you
a link to a location where the file can be downloaded. The file
installs
like any other Vista update.
:
My problems started even before I installed Office2007.
I found a microsoft support page which i think could be talking
about
the same problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932406/en-us
It talk about a "hotfix" bit I have no idea how to get it. Can
anybody
help with this?
Thanks so much

Either Microsoft or Dell had me disable all but Microsoft stuff
a couple
times last week, to no avail. By the way, the taskbar problem
began happening
right after upgrading to Vista Business, and before I added
anything except
Office 2007.

I've got both Microsoft and Dell working on the problem,
and I've
tried everything from clean and safe boots, to reinstalling
Vista
Business, to upgrading to Vista Ultimate. Heck, in the
beginning I
even thought it was a problem with my Dell 610, so I got a
620. I'll
be sure and let you know if I find a fix, and of course I'd
appreciate
knowing if you do. I didn't see your e-mail address.

I am having exactly the same problem.
The workaround I've found - to avoid a complete reboot -
is to go to
task manager (via ctrl-alt-delete), select and end the
process
"explorer" and then re-run it using the "new task"
function.
But it'd be great to work out why this is happening and
fix it.
Thanks for any help (please e-mail me directly if you can)

Hello,
Try and reboot with everything turned off, and see what still
loads.
SOmething is making explorer die, or freeze i would say some
program
which add's an plugin to explorer like Nero or say Symantec
not fully
compatible with Vista so explorer freezes. Kept on having
issues with
Nero and explorer, dllhost breaking upgraded to the newest
and now my
system is stable with no hick up's.
