Re: Can't expand the task bar (but the usual answer doesn't work)

Does the mouse cursor change to a double ended arrow when near the task bar
?

I just installed WinXP Home Edition for someone, and applied all the
non-optional updates from the Microsoft site. But I can't expand the
task bar, at the bottom of the page, upwards. Yes, I've unlocked it.
If I move it to, say, the right side, I can expand it all I want
horizontally. But this expansion isn't preserved if I move the bar
back to the bottom except for a very minor amount. And if I don't
move the bar to the right side first I can't expand it vertically at all.
This was an upgrade from Win98SE, so various things were
preserved through the install. Could some ghost from the past
be haunting the XP taskbar?

Any thoughts? Thanks.
