| | Taskbar freezes in Vista, only solution is to manually restart exp I have Vista Premuim, on a Dell Desktop intel core 2 duo 2gigs ram Recently the taskbar freezes, can only switch windows with alt tab, special keyboard functions dont work. The only solution is that sometimes if i right click the taskbar, a pop shows up asking me that Windows Explorer is not working, and that i can ask to restart it or close it. If i click Restart Windows Explorer, it takes a few seconds and it fixes it. I am going crazy here, and i dont want to just reinstall vista, and have this come up again. are other people having this problem? Please Please help ,e |

| | Re: Taskbar freezes in Vista, only solution is to manually restart exp YES! I've finally found someone that is having a similar issue as me. Mine tends to unfreeze as soon as I disconnect my network connection (we use offline files for our redirected start menu folder). Any time I get the dreaded 'not responding' box, I might as well restart because the computer isn't the same afterwards. I've tried updating all my drivers, software, and Bios to make sure everything is current. I've even run PC Doctor and tested all of the components from a bootable CD so I know its not malfunctioning hardware.

| | RE: Taskbar freezes in Vista, only solution is to manually restart exp I'm having the exact same problem as you mate. Same system as well, Dell Inspiron, Core Duo and 2GB RAM. It always just happens at random times and I always end up having to close and reopen explorer through the Task Manager. Unfortunately though I've no idea what's causing it or how to fix it either. But ur not alone with this. Thought I'd just bump the thread in hopes for someone with a solution.
