I am having a problem with the task bar. I used to have it on the bottom of my screen, but now it is on the top. not sure how it got there. I tried to move it back to the bottom but it won't go... I can move it up and down, but not to the side or bottom.
My task bar is at the top of my screen. Can someone tell me how to put it back on the bottom? I've tried dragging it but it only moves halfway down and fills half the screen. I've tried dragging it from every edge and side.
I just connected a new computer that has Windows XP. But the task bar at the bottom of the desktop is not showing. So I can not get to the window to shut down or restart. control panel, all programs, etc. Can you help me find that task bar
usually i have been able to keep several programs running on the bottom taskbar. now when i go to the internet to get one of my others started, it overrides the previous one on the bottom. this makes it very unhandy as you an't keep looking back and forth at the programs
My wife was playing cards and when I went to computer after she had quit the task bar had moved from the bottom of the screen to vertically up the right hand side of screen. How do I get that moved back to the bottom of screen as it should be for me?
I just booted up, got onto the internet, was reading some email and noticed that everything at the bottom of the screen, ie. the start button, certain program startup icons and the taskbar, have disappeared. I was going to attach a HijackThis scan, but don't know how since the log page saved is not visible at the bottom of the page.
Go in to my documents and open a folder the button or icon is missing so that I cannot go one back to the previous folder. Instead what i have to do is close the document down completely and then reopen it to the point I need to be at. I don't know what i have done but before say i was in a MY DOCUMENTS then i went in MUSIC then say ELVIS the icon is missing so i would not be able to go back to MUSIC instaed I would have to closed it down and go back to MY DOCUMENTS then MUSIC then say PAUL MCCARTNEY.
The blue toolbar/taskbar (which includes the start menu) that runs along the bottom of my computer screen has moved. I believe I accidentally clicked something to change that. Now the bar is running vertically along the right side of the screen.I've tried to drag it and move it back, but can't figure it out. Does anyone know how to move it back to it's horizontal position?
My wife's machine has been running slowly, and I am certain it is full of junk. Earlier I had improved things amazingly by uninstalling McAffee and replacing w/ AVG. Now it's all bogged down again, and a reboot does little to help. In addition, some Windows features have been squirrely for a long time, for example the Windows task bar likes to disappear and not come back. We've never been able to get Eudora (free version) to function properly.

Don't know if anyone else hates it, but the new task switcher is WAY too damn slow for me.Select your method of removing startup programs, either from the registry (sorry don't remember the key, it's on this site somewhere) or use MSCONfIG, or any of the other programs that edit the startup programs.select "taskswitch.exe" and remove it
I formatted my drive and reinstalled XP last week. I saved all the pictures in the My Pictures folder to CD and I also saved the Favorites to CD. I have learned (from Mr. Brody) how to put the pictures back in the My Pictures folder. I now need to know how to put the favorites back in the Favorites menu. Do I simply go down the page of links and add each link or is there some other way?
Run XP at a low resolution, so I don't have lots of space for programs.Unfortunately, many programs, and windows run off the bottom of my screen and I can't see any of the options past that point. I can't move them because Windows won't let me move the programs past the top of the screen. There is the MOVE option from the menu in the top-left on some programs, but I am looking more for the ability to grab the windows anywhere, while maybe using a keyboard command, and dragging the window where I need it, past the edge of the screen.
When i try to open windows media player, the tab will come up on the bottom but the window wont open. I try to maximize and the tab shoots up to the left off the screen.

I have 3 sets of computer icons in bottom bar. What does that mean ?One has a triangle with a Yellow Exclamation Point on it.Another has a red x .The 3rd one is just the 2 blue computer screens.
I know this is a worn topic, but I searched for similar questions and didn't find the same problem that I am having.Upon reboot, immediatley after the BIOS load screen, I get a white progress bar across the bottom of a black screen. It will move a notch then hesitate for a minute then slowly progress. Once it gets up to about two or three notches it will zip to the end and XP starts to load. If I reboot in Safe Mode the same hesitiation occurs as it loads the list of drivers.Once I start to see the desktop, it will take another 7 minutes or so before I can gain control of the computer and the hard drive runs continuously during that time.
Out of nowhere for some reason not everything is loading on the bottom right hand corner of my screen.Sometimes it loads now and sometimes it doesn't load.I tried to check for spyware but it found nothing is there anything.Dell Inspiron 2200 Intel Celeron(R) M Processor 1.40GHz 504 MB RAM.
I had a few icons at the bottom left of screen (next to the start button)for my email and a couple of other programmes. For some reason they have disappeared, how do i get them back, I tried dragging and dropping but they just pop back to the desktop.

I have upgraded my browser from IE6 to IE7..I kinda like the new IE7 and the paging it provides some things will take a little getting used to; for instance while I have my browser open I have no way to look at the clock or my antivirus status because these were on the BOTTOM toolbar. For some reason I have not figured out how to have this BOTTOM toolbar displayed while my IE7 browser is open
Dell inspiron 1300. The laptop goes fuzzy at the bottom half of the screen when the computer starts. It goes clear again straight when the booting sequence starts. (sometimes it boots fine). I am also getting random BSOD's now. Memory_managemet / fault to non paged area / usb etc. I was thinking mabe someting in the bios/motherboard is corrupt. An update to the bios didnt fix it.
