When I right click on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and goto toolbars everything is greyed out and I cannot select address, links, desktop, quick launch, new toolbar. Where/how do I enable this?

just a guess: logon as administrator and see if problem is still there. if not,
check the user account you are using to logon. give it at least power user status...

I log in as an admin and the admin account still shows this same problem.

This sound like a "locked taskbar" -

dig in the help menu to find out where are the options to unlock it

Remark: You need to log in as admin/power user to do this changes

I was logged in as an admin and unchecked unlock taskbar and nothing happened..

I had the same issue, could not figure it out. Result for me was to repair with XP CD. I believe my issue was a malware virus.

Well than - do a deep dig in google and try to discover information about the registry control for your greyed things or just do a Online virus scan @ www.antivirus.com - it's free for home users.
