Please help, how do you fix this? Ughh, please can you help me? Once again I have another annoying computer problem! I really hate this computer sometimes! I left for awhile today, the computer was on, everything was fine, when I got back it seem to have reset itself, I don't know maybe there was a power outage or something, whatever.

I have Vista by the way. Windows Vista. The point is, now the windows, when I reduce them to the little bar at the bottom of the screen, you know the one I mean right (Taskbar, I think it's called?). Instead of going to the left-hand side of that bar like they used to, they now go to the right side. They are tiny and if I have more than two of them open at once, I lose them! UGHHHHH! This ******* computer keeps taking the liberty of breaking itself!

Does anyone know if there is any way to put them back where they were, maybe something I could go to under Control Panel or something. If someone could please just help me get this fixed, I would appreciate it so much! Thank you so much everyone.

hello finalson

in the "taskbar" there are some little black dots. next to whatever you have minimized to the taskbar.

put your curser over the dots. hold down left click and drag it left or right.

hope this helps

ps minimize something so you can see dots.
Have A Great Day
