I have this problem under Vista x64 sp1 with all the latest updates.. it happens radomly and only a reboot fixes the issue.. I have it set to the default of group by similar task bar items, so if i have 10 explorers open and i want to click one of them, it just minimizes..

Why is Ringmaster still alive? Does anyone have answers?

Hello, First off, I run Vista Home Premium 32-bit. In the past several months I've started receiving error messages when my computer recovers from Sleep Mode.
