maybe me and vista just seriously don’t get along, but i’m telling you, i’ve seen more problems than one would expect.
one example you can see for yourselves… this is on my sis’s laptop, her taskbar is there but not drawing. if you hover the mouse over it in the right places, you can still get teh popups for date and time, etc, and the window previews, and you can click on anything on it. you just can’t see it.
(in this screenshot the mouse is hovering over where the sound icon should be, or is, depending on how you look at it.)
