My taskbar hide automatically, except if a window is maximized.

I tried with autohide on and outside and keep taskbar on and outside top. very frustrating.

I have a small screen and now I have even less "real estate" to work with.

Windows XP Professional SP3, intel 4 express chipset with recently updated driver

Hi fasteddie777,

·         You use quick launch on the taskbar?

If so, we will disable the same thing to check the issue.

a. right click on the taskbar, point to toolbars.

b. click "Quick launch" to uncheck.

c. click OK. The part of the quick launch area should disappear.

d. go back and click on the quick launch area to turn it back on, click OK.

See if hide starts working again.

If you don't use quick launch, first turn on then turn it off.

    If you have Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG installed, you don't have to do a thing. These 2 are supposed to disable Windows Defender, because they have their own "defender". Running two defenders would conflict on the other and redundant.

  • How can I disable the automatic IP Configuration in Windows 7?

    Is someone can you please tell me how to disable the automatic IP Configuration in Windows 7?  I am happy to change the registry to implement if necessary.

    Why?

    Because my PC sometimes gives an IP address like 169.254.0.1.  This is because Windows has detected that your computer is connected to a network, but the PC has not yet given an IP address by DHCP on the network, so Windows Server the automatic IP Configuration comes in and gives the PC an IP address that starts with 16.254.

    The reason why that the DHCP server on the network has not given an IP address was because the network is coming a few seconds before the DHCP server comes up, and the automatic IP Configuration Windows comes too quickly.

    Of course, once the PC has an IP starting 169.254, he cannot communicate with my router that has an IP address that starts with 192.168.  The only cure, outside re-booting, is to issue the ipconfig/renew command to obtain an IP address from the router DHCP server.

    If I can turn off the automatic IP Configuration of Windows (I could disable in XP) then I can avoid this error.

    One option that you have.

    You can set the IP address to a static IP address.

    Reach:
    Beginning
    Control Panel
    Network and Internet
    Network and sharing Center

    Click on connection to the Local network (a separate dialog box opens Local Area Connectin status)
    Click on Properties (opens the dialog)
    Click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
    Click on Properties

    On the general tab, move the radio button to use the following IP address:
    Here you can set the IP address that you want to use the machine.

    Example of Configuration:
    192.168.0.254
    255.255.255.0
    192.168.0.1

    You will need to note the IP DNS addresses you need more.
    If you like you can even use a set of public DNS servers for free. http://www.online-tech-tips.com/cool-websites/free-DNS-server/

    Please note that the sample configuration assumes routers IP is 192.168.0.1, check please. :)

    Good luck

  • Window is maximized, but not in format full screen

    I have a laptop HP, Pavilion dv5. My problem: I open a window, but the right side is stopped by an imaginary line about 2 inches on the side of the screen (in other words, it does not whole screen). This happens when the window is maximized; otherwise, it appears as normal. I can resize the window by using the arrows, but none appear on the right side and I can't drag and drop further than this point.

    My wallpaper appears normal (takes the entire screen), the taskbar background to run either the width and the desktop icons have not changed. My screen resolution is set to the highest standards. I tried to reset the and defining their return, but this does not solve the problem. I checked the monitor drivers, but did not encounter any problems.

    I had another problem install an HP printer the day before, this has happened. I uninstalled the drivers, as I was getting popups of status generally associated with improper installation. Then I restored the computer and restarted. After that she came back, I was able to open a window normally, but after a few seconds she aligned back on the right side as shown above. I tried restarted several times to nothing does not.

    My only other theory is that my Wacom tablet has been plugged during the system restore and also this problem. I have since uninstalled the driver and rebooted, but the problem is still ongoing.

  • Can't see taskbar, except if I close all the windows, but hide automatically is not checked - how to fix this?

    It happened all of a sudden during a browsing session. Also, I do not see the albums "open windows" list unless I have point to him. "Auto-hide taskbar" is not checked. I tried to stop and do a restart, but nothing has changed. The two bars are always top in IE but not in Firefox more. It is very annoying. I would like to know how to solve this problem, and also how it could have happened, so I don't do it again! Thanks in advance.

    Firefox is stuck in mode full screen? The F11 function key switches between regular views and full screen modes.

    Firefox window is an irrational dimension in normal mode, it can indicate a corruption of the file that stores the information of location/size of window. The usual medicine is to rename this file and let Firefox restart by using the default dimensions. Here's how:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    As this process goes probably most toolbars, you can use one of the following methods to display the toolbar list and activate the desired bars it:

    To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.
