anyone?

i had something similar myself....seems to be ok now though.

try this when it happens though ;

in task manager..

go to processes and find EXPLORER.EXE.....(not iexplore.exe!!), end this process and you'll notice the taskbar disappear.

then, still in task manager...go to File>new task(run) and type EXPLORER and click ok.


may or may not work lol....but it's worth a go

its either that or an svchost.exe running at 99%.

This is probably due to a dodgy update issued by microsoft.

have come across it various times at work. I have a fix, just not here.
