Taskbar on strike?

[*ChRiS]

I have noticed from time to time with XP that the taskbar just stops working, everything loads and works as usual but the taskbar just does not do anything, it looks as normal, hovering over it the start bit for example doesent do its little highlight event.

Using XP Pro with SP1, kinda pain in the ass when I'm needing access to the start menu.

Any ideas?

If this happens

do ctrl alt del

then taskmanager

process <--- terminate explorer, ieexplorer

after this open file/new(task)run: explorer

now it should work again )

Thanks for that, I'll give it a bash
