Hi Everyone :)

I've been having problems with my taskbar becoming scrambled.
The taskbar items seem to move across to the left by about 300px become
garbled and lose their ability to be clicked.
Infact when you move the mouse to the item's original position it 'glows' as
if hovering over it.
When trying to select these scrambled buttons, i get a mix of reactions from
different programs and nothing consistent. e.g the program might pop up but
be a blank screen, or it may open something completely random, or do nothing!

I've found that by closing and opening explorer.exe, the taskbar is returned
to normal.

This has been happening for quite a while so i have attempted a clean
install, but to no avail.

I am usually running the following applications:

- ATI CCC v7.4 (was also happening on 7.3)
- AVG 7.5.467
- Ms Office 07 Apps (Word, Excel, Outlook, Groove)
- Nokia PC Suite
- MSN Live Messenger
- Ares 2.0.8.3029

My PC is:

- Core 2 Duo e4300
- Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3P
- 2048MB Ram
- Palit X1950Pro 512MB

Thanks in advance for your help, i will try and post a screenshot as soon as
it happens to help with the description!

Cheers
