In my pc, Windows task bar is stuck for around 30 seconds in some occasions. Mainly I've noticed that when installing a software, When clearing most recently opened documents in windows. So far I've noticed this problem in above two occasions. But this problem is happening not only in these occasions, most of the time suddenly task bar was stuck. I can't say exactly which occasions other than above two occasions.

I can't access minimized folders or programs by mouse. By using ALT+TAB combination I can access minimized programs. I can access all the icons in the Desktop. ONLY TASK BAR IS STUCK.

I am using Windows XP SP2, My PC is HP dc7700, 2Ghz core 2 Duo processor, 1 GB Memory. Connected to a Windows 2000 server domain.

Can anyone give me a solution

Go to Control Panel, System Properties and take note of the amount of RAM. Now you need to make sure that the Pagefile is equal to 1.5 times the installed RAM.

Go to Control Panel, System Properties, click on Settings under Performance, click on the Advanced tab, click on Change under Virtual Memory.

Also test your Memory.

Go to this site and read the instructions. Save the ISO version of the file.
