    I'm running Vista Business and all of a sudden the Taskbar has stopped autohiding. Any ideas why this is happening? The "Auto-hide the taskbar" box is still checked.

    Perhaps you are still hovering over the taskbar? You need to make sure nothing is stealing focus, and forcing the taskbar to stay visible. Also, try unchecking the box, clicking apply, and then re-checking it. Click apply and OK. Hope this helps.

    If I re-apply it, like you said, it hides it once, but then stays up once I roll over it again.

    I'm having the same problem. I've placed the Taskbar on the left side of the screen, have told my systray icons to *not* hide the inactive icons. I can cycle the autohide setting off/on to temporarily fix the autohide failure. It's on a Latitude D620, Nvidia video card.
