Vista - Taskbar buttons, Sidebar & more issues...

OKay, since SP1 was installed I have noticed a problem I need help figuring out. I am running hte following from day one and only noticed problems after SP1 roll out.

300gb HDD (sata)
4GB Ram
AMD Athlon x2 dual core XP 6000+ 3.01ghz
Vista Home Preomium 64bit
SP1
dvd burner
asus MB
Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT 512mb PCIEx16

now what happens, is if my wife is logged on with her account and i log on second my side bar does not load all I see is hte plus sign at hte top ofhte sidebar and the transparent outline of the sidebar, real quickly it flashes all of my gadgets but they go straight to the background and are not visible once loaded. then any windows you open do not show up in the task bar at the bottom. If you hit the view all windows button in the quick launch it rotates all windows and shows you everything thats open. otherwise all you see is the window on top. If this makes sense to anyone and you can offer some help please let me know thanks!


oh and this happens when i logg in first everything loads fine then whe she logs in it does this to her so it seams like whoever logs in first gets everything loaded properly. so it requires a reboot everysingle time you log in, in order for these two functions to work properly.


also side note..how many windows can be open at once with vista 64? any one know...it seems to very on my sistem as well...some days only 5 windows can be open others 45 windows can be open ( I tested it)
