Quick Launch Toolbar Invisible

Hi - I'm using 3.2.13 RC1 on XP Pro SP2 and noticed that sometimes my quick launch bar kind of turns invisible. I've got the toolbar at the top of my desktop screen, set to always on top and auto-hide. It works fine until suddenly it's gone. I've attached a screenshot of the top-left of the screen. The line you see there is all I get of the toolbar, when it drops down from auto-hide. When I click the mouse anywhere within that area it reacts as if the toolbar isn't there at all, so I can't even close the toolbar. If I start a new toolbar, then drag it to top and set it to auto-hide it tells me there's already another toolbar there.

Hopefully this is enough information for someone that have an idea of how to help.

Thanks in advance...

Greg.

Windows toolbar...

Looks like toolbar hangs, but entire explorer must hang too.
Please can you post the screenshot of toolbar when it is visible.

Here's a screenshot, and as a matter of fact explorer.exe crashes when I shut down the machine. Gives a typical GPF error.

Thanks
