Screen saver bar
Hello,
Just a query before I call in some one I have to pay. After I interupt the screen saver I get a bar at the bottom of my screen. As if I had a window open. Thanks |

Screen saver bar
If your talking about ghost buttons:
This is a response from Rick Rogers aka "Nutcase" MS-MVP, now North of the border in XP land: These "ghost" buttons are often cured by updating the video drivers. They began appearing around the release of IE5.0. Changing screensavers can often help as well. Other possibilities include: 1) The Win98SE Mapped drives Shutdown update 2) The Win98SE 1394 Storage Supplement If you have installed any of these updates and don't actually need them, you can try uninstalling them through the .inf's they placed on your system. They would be: 1) 260067un.inf 2) 242975un.inf Also, another method to try is to delete this key from the registry and reboot: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\StuckRects NOTE Please use caution when working within the registry. Changes made here are generally immediate. Making the wrong change or carelessly changing/deleting keys can render your system unbootable. If you are unsure about any change, don't do it. Before you make any changes to the registry, know how to backup and restore the current one from a command prompt. How to Manually Restore the Windows 98 Registry http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q221512 And in addition, a response by (glee) Glen Ventura MS-MVP: Some programs are just poorly-written, and a fault in the code will cause this to occur. -- Brian A.
