Hey guys,

I've been fooling around with two different monitors, and noticed that my added desktop toolbar would no longer show up after the monitor shuffling. The desktop toolbar itself I added, which is just multiple links and files. However, since installing the new video drivers for the dual monitors, the toolbar will open when I hover my mouse over it (per my user setting), but nothing appears inside it. I've included two pictures so you can see how it should look, and how it presently looks. So my question to all you experts out there - how do I close/get rid of the dead toolbar if I can't right-click on it to close it?

Good Toolbar
Bad Toolbar

Any help would be greatly appreciated...this is somewhat annoying.

First backup the registry by doing the following.
Click on Start>Run,copy and paste the following bold text into the 'Open:' space,then press Ok.
regedit /e c:\registrybackup.reg
It won't appear to be doing anything,that's normal.
Your mouse pointer may have an hour glass along side it for a minute or so.
Please be patient and continue when the hour glass disappears.

Copy and paste ALL the following text in the code box below into Notepad.
Click on Start/All Programs/Accessories/Notepad.
Click on File(in the menu at the top)>Save as../Save as Type: 'All Files' /File name: fix.reg to your desktop.
Then double click on the fix.reg file on your desktop

and agree to merge the information into the registry,then restart your pc.
