thanks

    Hmm. I'll assume you've tried restarting the computer? I need to think a little longer, but for now: you can use Alt+Tab to switch between active windows, this will also maximize the window if it is minimised. If you can manage to post a screenshot of the problem, (you will need to host the image too) that will help no end.

    Fair winds!

    Alt and Tab, not Ctrl and Tab. Please don't shout, I'm trying to help. If you can't post a screenshot, there isn't much I can do. I've looked into your problem, and I need to see it to diagnose it.

    If Alt + tab works, download and run this program.

    Select "minimized programs missing" and then Repair.

    Google toolbar has caused some problems it seems, perhaps others. Either way, glad it's fixed, and you didn't need to be too savvy with computers either! Harr! :D
