Button remains on taskbar from Screensaver
After my screensaver has been running for a while, and when I move my mouse
to "wake up" my computer, a button remains on my taskbar that is very annoying. I had this problem before, but do not remember how I made it stop appearing. I know it doesn't have to do with the specific screensaver product though. Does anyone know how I can stop this from happening? Thanks! |

Button remains on taskbar from Screensaver
Switching screensavers and/or updating the video drivers sometimes helps.
These ghost buttons are often caused by one of these MS updates: The Win98SE Mapped drives Shutdown update The Win98SE 1394 Storage Supplement They may have been installed by the manufacturer, or by Windows Update...if you don't need them, uninstall them. Search for these INF files: 260067un.inf 242975un.inf Right-click the INF files and click Install from the context menu, to remove the updates. You must have Start Settings Folder Options View tab set to "Show All Files", as INF files are "hidden" files. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Kristen" wrote in message ...

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately this didn't take care of the problem,
even though I got rid of both those INFs. Any other suggestions anyone? Thank you. "glee" wrote: Switching screensavers and/or updating the video drivers sometimes helps.

Yes I did, but unfortunately this hasn't taken care of it for some reason.
Any other ideas anyone? Thank you very much!
