when I hover over a taskbar open programme icon the description window is hidden behind the taskbar. This is also happening with the date popup when you hover over the time icon.

Does this happen all the time ?

I have had this problem but forget how it was resolved

See if a reboot will fix it. If not try a System Restore to a recent point.

Another try could be to make some changes via Right clicking the Start Menu then click Properties then Taskbar.

Make some change & apply & OK. You can then go back & reset your options. This may reset the screen.

Try this please, right click Start, click Properties, click Taskbar, now follow the instructions in the screen shot I've attached. HTH

Yes this is constant

None of these seemed to help.
I think I had this problem a while back and one of you good prople did help by sending me to another site?
Thanks.

Didnt seem to help.

Thanks.

There is a registry edit here number 321. I have never tried it so don't know if it will work.
