Windows 7 Blank Taskbar and Wallpaper!? -

I m trying out the new Windows 7 beta. Anyway, It s been a day since I did a fresh install and I ve run into a semi-persistent problem: explorer.exe loads... but incorrectly. The taskbar is blank, except for the start icon and my other icons are there... but invisible. Also, my gadgets load fine, but the wallpaper is black. My only remedy is to go into task manager, close explorer.exe, and restart it. And as I said, this problem seems to be random, but happens more often than not. Any suggestions?

Mark, take a look at this Microsoft TechNet forum thread. It addresses the same problem you have run into. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Foru... Best, Jeff Windows Outreach Team
