friend is having some weird ass problems!

[Rob423]

Ok, For some strange reason he's running xp HOME........ when he minimizes say... an Instant messange, or anything, it doesn't go to the tool bar on the bottom, they get real small and then just stay above the toolbar ....... how does he get them to go back into the toolbar.......... ? i never had this problem but he is, i didn't know what to tell him i even looked around for some fixes, very weird.... and it's not the program itself, it's with any window....... anything???

I wonder if the information in these posts will help?

One of these freeware utilities might also prove useful:

If none of this works, you might have to post a link to a screen shot, because this is something I haven't encountered before, either.

Seems weird ... might be your video card. Did you get the latest drivers for that LeadTek card?

thanks for your input, havn't gotten a chance to write back but problem was fixed, gave my friend a copy of Good o'l StyleXP 2.0... and that did the trick, basically previously who ever built his pc used an XP tweak type utility and changed a registry setting............. everythings back to normal , things are looking good.
