When I bootup my computer, the startbutton is not shown on all visual styles.

If I move the taskbar around or unlock it or lock it, it then becomes visible.


Is it some caching bug in the regestry?

Please help
 
When you say "startbutton is not shown on all visual styles" are you talking about the Windows Visual Styles ie: Blue/ Silver/ Green - or have you intalled a visual styles program? If you have, they try running the windows default styles and see.
 
Visual Styles, StyleXP to be exact.

The blue/silver/green works fine.
 
Hmm, have u by any chance changed the text on the start button? If so, that is ur answer. If not....I have no idea :confused:
 
Since the MS visual styles seem to work fine ... maybe you should try this.

Download this file from TGTSoft's website (the makers of StyleXP) and follow the instructions in the ZIP file.

I'm assuming you haven't installed any of the beta Service Packs for Windows XP.
 
have you tried other themes and tried them?
I can only guess that it might be the theme that is a problem, there are some themes that come with StyleXP - do they work?
Check for an up-date of StyleXP and perhaps let them know of the problem.
 
I tried different themes, all the same. I uninstalled StyleXP and instead used the hacked uxtheme.dll. I still get the same problem.

Now I think it may have to do with the icon caching reg tweak I changed.


What is everybodys icon cache size?

Also Im going to try and see if I leave the taskbar unlocked and reboot if it will solve it. Ill reboot later though im busy.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
