rome Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 I normally keep my Windows taskbar on the left hand side of the screen. When I want to adjust the width I grab the side of the toolbar with the mouse and then drag it to an exact width and then let go of the mouse. However, when I tried doing this yesterday the taskbar automatically adjusted and "snapped" to a pre-determined width! Why is it doing this all of a sudden and how can I fix it?

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Welcome to the Windows Forum.I have seen a similar situation before, and a simple Windows reboot fixed it. Please try to reboot, and report back if the problem still exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Could it be that the taskbar is locked?No other ideas apart from that; wait until the UK people come online - maybe someone has a better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Mine is at the bottom and is adjustable if I unlock it. Never had any bother. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Could it be that the taskbar is locked? Locked task bar would be my guess too.Just right-click on a blank part of the bar and see if you can uncheck 'Lock the Taskbar'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Can you move the taskbar to another location, e.g. the bottom of you screen? Did the trouble start suddenly? If so, can you do a system restore to the point before it started? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rome Posted June 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 My old hard drive crashed and I had to install a new one and reinstall all drivers, software, o/s etc.... as far as I know the problem existed since I reinstalled everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
