Default Status Bar

I am using Win 98se. All of a sudden my PC has decided I need a few blank
buttons on the status bar. For no apparent reason it has taken to producing
blank buttons ad lib. I have counted as many as 24 at times before I delete
them. There is no information attached to any button - just blank! Any
ideas how I can rid myself of 'the blank button' disease.
Thank you Fred

1. The blank buttons are often screensaver related so try a different one
or don't use one at all--use power management to shut the monitor off after
a few minutes. Also see:

2. Update your video driver.

3. If the blank buttons started immediately after a software installation,
uninstall that software.
