Kill your computer with an AR Shotgun. It is the only way to be sure.

Move your cursor into the toolbar.

Right mouse click and hold.

Move cursor (still on hold) to left or right edge, then to bottom.

After you get it reset, right click on the toolbar and select ‘lock the taskbar’.

Sounds like a ghost in the machine. Yikes! I got something too where a bunch of my documents changed their format and when I tried to open them I’d get a message that I “needed” to buy Office 2010 to open them. I changed them all back to what they were before. Weird.

I’ve never really understood why anyone would want a taskbar at the bottom of the screen. I put mine at the top where it belongs.

After you get your tool bar reset, try right-clicking on an empty portion of the desktop.

Then, select refresh.

You might also try logging out and re-logging in.

I don’t need help moving the task bar but getting the readable internet screen back to full size after moving the task bar. The top of the readable internet screen is 1/5” below the top of the computer screen so that the desktop is visible. I can’t get the readable part to go back up to the top of the computer screen. If I move the task bar down, the task bar goes to a ghost image on top of the internet page without moving the internet page up to the top of the computer screen.

Log out or reboot.

That cures many problems.

Have you installed any new programs recently or changed your personalize or desktop theme?
