Yes, the problem is the buttons remaining on the task bar after the application
closes. The most problematic application is ACDSee.... if you open numerous
graphics in a row, it can have dozens... I have seen nearly 100 buttons lined up
on the task bar and the applications closed.
I know it is not a driver issue. The system formally had an STB velocity 128
card with the latest drivers and now has the ATI 32mg card with the latest drivers.
The problem exists using either card.
The system currently uses 1024x768 32bit true color. It was using 1024x768
24bit true color, in Win98.
It must be a setting in Windows98 that sets the refresh rate on the Task bar or
the object controlling the task bar.
I am still unable to find an answer.
