2 problems Jacques 02-24-2006

 I have 2 problems with the msn search toolbar:
1) I have 7 toolbars enabled. Once in a while, the toolbars change of
position, are stuck on the side or spread on several lines. So I have to
unlock the toolbars, rearrange them, and lock the toolbars.
2) Once in a while, if I have several tabs open, suddenly I see only my web
page with no tabs and on the top right corner of the window, just the close
button in smaller (no minimize or maximize button) so the solution is to
click on "Show desktop" and maximize Internet explorer and I can see all my
tabs again. But this happens regularly.
Can you help ?

That sure is a whole lot of toolbars. Personally, I would uninstall most of them
as they may be causing your issues. I've not experienced number 1, but I have
seen number 2 and I suspect it is simply a bug in the current toolbar
implementation.

These issues could also be related to Internet Explorer's stability in
an enviroment where there are so many toolbars and other things sucking
away at its memory usage. What 'other' toolbars are you running? Could
adware be involved in this? Have you cleaned your computer lately?

With (2), are you using the latest Toolbar version? I haven't
experienced this yet in an enterprise enviroment.
