Solve : Taskbar Not Responding?

Answer»

Everytime I log on the computer (I have Windows XP SP2), my taskbar is always messed up. When I click on it nothing happens. This also causes any windows that I have to stop responding. The only way to fix this problem is to press ctrl, alt, and delete, click on the PROCESSES tab, find explorer.exe,end it, then run it again. I don't want to do this everytime I log on, any suggestions? Qwerty94....... Please explain what you mean by ...... Quote

Is this something that has just started ? Tell US where your taskbar is located that you are refering to .

dl65  This started about 3-5 weeks ago.

The taskbar I am refering to is the long, gray, BAR on the bottom of the screen that has the word "Start" on it.Qwerty94....  Let's try something ......
Put the cursor in a empty spot in the taskbar , right click and select properties.
Now click the taskbar tab ...... in the Taskbar appearance , only tick .... "keep the taskbar on top of other windows" ...... then click APPLY and ok ....... now see how it is .

dl65  The "keep the taskbar on top of other windows" box is already checked.

My taskbar continues to not respond everytime I log on.This thread seems dead, maybe...but lemme give it a shot.

You said that your taskbar is the "long gray bar" at the bottom.....

XPSP2 automatically sets the taskbar to be blue.  Have you been messing around with any settings?  OBVIOUSLY, there's the simple "Set my computer for maximum performance" option, but did you do anything else?

-rockexporer.exe is NOT a Windows file, sort of makes you wonder what it really is, Google has a lot to say.I'm sure he meant explorer.exe


.........right, qwerty?

-rockGoogling exporer.exe as I type, there sure is a lot of people out there who make typos. LOL!
Querty was a hit & run anyway so... *shrug* Quote
