Solve some common Windows XP annoyances with this free download.

I think the computer at my cubicle hates me. Depending on what I'm doing, certain icons will disappear from my Quick Launch bar even though the task manager shows them running. There's no rhyme or reason. Lame, lame, lame.

Jessica has other taskbar problems. I've heard her complain about items on her taskbar becoming "locked" or grayed out, also for no apparent reason. This, my friends, is unacceptable WinXP behavior.

On tonight's "Screen Savers" I'll show you how to end these problems, and many others, with a handy little tool called Taskbar Repair Tool Plus!
