PC running W98SE. No open windows showing up in the task bar. If you minimize a open window it does not appear on taskbar. You can toggle and open it back up but it gives user the apperance that the program has closed, but it has not. The only taskbar setup in Quick-Launch, that one show up fine. I have tried reinstalling W98 but still same. Any Registry setting for this?

Nope... TWEAKUI not loaded on PC. I did try loading it to check the settings in it, but all OK there. then uninstalled it. Thanks for the input.

Alas... I have found the problem.
It was caused by a certain file running in the background. It had been Downloaded with a screensaver program. Its name is: OTMS.EXE, located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Media
I first went into MSconfig>Startup group and look for an entry named Pmedia. Unchecked it and rebooted. Then went into the folder where the program was located and there was an uninstaller present. Ran it.
All OK now!
