taskbar bullshit

whenever i boot up my pc now, 90% of the time my taskbar is totally frozen and i can't do shit about it. i fooled around with settings and whatnot but it doesn't look like that'll do much. so any advice, peeps?

As a temporary solution, killing explorer.exe from your processes list and then restarting it (Task Manager - Run - explorer) might unfreeze it.

Is your HDD grinding while it's frozen? CPU locked at 100% usage? Have you made any hardware changes lately? Do you defragment your HDD often? More info pls

I've heard of spy/malware/viruses whatever that like to hijack your taskmanager or taskbar... Run Spybot and Virus Scan for starters.

Just run adaware, usually it's spyware.

ctrl-alt-del

Use Process Registry online to see what crap belongs and what crap doesn't.

Terminate the unneeded crap.

Then go to control panel, settings, startup progs.

Uncheck all the shit you don't need.

I'd just take the time to format.... i don't like software solutions to strange spyware problems, just pull the weed from the root.

btw my breath must be permanently rank, i think even my monitor is offended by it now...
