    Please accept this post from a non-techie person.
    I have a 1525 which for some reason has stopped showing the open files / programmes when “minimised”. They are no longer showing in a line on the bottom of the screen near the START button.
    Instead they have become “stacked” to the bottom right, (just left of the hidden icons).
    At the moment I have an IE browser window and 6 different programmes open. At the moment I can only see the IE icon and the Word icon. Next to them are 2 small “arrow heads”, one facing up, the other down.
    When I click on the up or down head, 2 other open programme icons are showing.
    Is anyone able to tell me how to change things back to “normal” !!

    Many thanks for any help
    Marconi

    Ps I will just say that this morning the system refused to shut down. Instead, it just ran in “logging off” mode. I resolved it by using Safe Mode which then allowed me to shut down properly everytime I tried afterwards.
