After installling a new copy of XP professional and
updating all the files at Windows Update, I get a
consistent problem wherein the taskbar and the system
tray icons are not responsive to the mouse. Clicking
makes no difference.
Opening a window is possible from the desktop but once
open, a mouse click in any area of the window greys it
out and it becomes non-functional. The start menu cannot
be accessed with the mouse, only with the windows key.
If I bring up the task manager and "end process" the
taskmgr.exe program, the system returns to normal and I
can use the mouse on the taskbar once more.
This issue has happened on several of my computers at
work so it is not because of a particular configuration
of computer.
There must be some software conflict but I am at a loss
to know what it is. I have not even loaded any other
third party software on the computer so there is no
conflict there.
Any suggestions would be most welcome. I searched the
database without success.
Thanks.
