| 386797 | 2005-09-08 02:55:00 | I run windows 98se with all updates (as far as I know) on an old laptop, this runs an ftp program to hourly update a web site. Unfortunately after each update it leaves a image of a button (no Label) on the task bar, this is grind as I have to delete each of these by hand every day so. Does anyone out there know the cause and hopefully a "fix" for same. |

| 386798 | 2005-09-08 03:37:00 | --cut & paste-- This can be caused by a number of things. The first trick you need to try is to update your video drivers. Poorly written screensavers can also cause this problem, so try using a different screensaver or remove it completely. Finally, a rather more complex solution involves installing a number of critical updates of Windows 98SE systems from Microsoft. If you installed the 22nd May 2000 Critical Update or the Windows 98SE 1394 (Firewire) Storage Supplement you can experience ghost buttons appearing in your taskbar. The ghost buttons appear to be the result of interactions between existing applications and newer versions of user.exe and user32.dll installed by those updates. If you don't require these updates, you can remove them by searching for the appropriate uninstall INF file. Right-click this INF file and select Install then reboot. For the 22nd May update, the INF file is named 260067un.inf while for the 1394 update, the INF file is named 242975un.inf. Please check the INF file name before choosing to remove these items. hth |
