Unhappy windowsLESS on my task bar (Screen shot)

Hi people.

What's wrong with my task bar? I checked the settings, my Windows simply won't appear at the task bar. The only way for me to switch windows is to use ALT + TAB browsing. What should I do???

I did a Norton Antivirus full system scan but I found nothing. No virus detected. No ad-wares either.

Please help...

Are you sure that your taskbar isn't locked in a weird position? Right click on the taskbar and uncheck LOCK it. You should see a little vertical bar to resize your quicklaunch toolbar... drag it to see if it resizes and shows your task list.

I did some googling and came up with a possible solution. Go to the link below and run the Minimized Programs Missing download. That solution worked for a couple of other people.

Another user fixed his problem by uninstalling MS One Note and reinstalling it.

Wish I knew. First I've heard of this problem. Did either of the suggestions work?
