Has anyone encountered problems with the task bar and start button being
enlarged to fill up half the screen with no icons???? I suddenly have
started having this problem. I can shrink it down with the arrows; however
the green start button is still extended over the entire length of the task
bar and no icons are visible. I also notice that some icons now lead to
error messages when I click on them. A system restore has not corrected the
problem. Any Suggestions?? Thanks.

When you put the mouse cursor on the top edge does it become a double arrow? If so, hold down the left button and drag it down.
