Hi

I am having a problem with the taskbar in Windows. Every now and again it
does not respond to input ie clicking on the start button, right clicking
etc. The OS is not frozen, clicking on the desktop works OK.

Eventually the taskbar begins responding again and all the previous attempts
to access the taskbar occur at the same time ie start menu
opens/closes/opens/closes etc.

I have had the task manager open when this has occured and the system does
not show any activity (CPU usage 0-1%).

Any help would be appreciated.

If you manage to solve this, tell me too. I have exactly same problem.

Hi,
I too just had a similar problem (go to this post :
Taskbar & startup menu not working & read my problem) & spent all day
yesterday working on it. Some of the suggestions at least helped me at least
to get into my Msconfig. I too didn't have any action on the Taskbar, all I
had was the busy signal when I would move my mouse over it. I had tried
different Restore points & Goback & nothing worked, I must have rebooted my
computer about 50 times with all the trials.
Anyway, I tried booting into Safe Mode & it worked, so I figured it had to
be something that loads up normally. I finally just played with the config
files by first trying Diagnostic mode/startup & then using Selective startup
by unselecting & then selecting items in the Services tab & also Startup tab
& finally managed to turn off the right item that was messing up my taskbar.
Since then it's works fine again.
I still have to uninstall whatever it was somehow that was messing it up but
at least it works. I hope this makes sense.
