notification area nonresponsive
on the right side of my taskbar [notification area] I cannot access the
running processes by left click - right click works - I can pull up programs by opening them thru the program menu but not from the tray. I have tried system restore and uninstalling new programs with no luck - - any ideas?

Exactly what works depends on the program, but usually there is no way to access them other than by *double*-clicking or right-clicking.

You do need to double click to open the programs showing there - What I am saying is I cannot do this - if I rest the cursor on the icon I get no pop-up balloon - I was told there was a hotfix for this problem but have been unable to locate it. To make it more irritating the calendar/clock works fine [by left clicking] I cannot access the some programs there even opening the programs directly - some will open when the program is selected form the program menu

I should add this means I cannot disconnect a USB device from the
notification area - I have several devices and so this is a real problem - I know I can do it thru My Computer but that is a hassle when it should work from the NA in one click
