Ahh!!! Taskbar malfunctioning! Help!

[Zamboni]

All my taskbar icons are gone! Only the clock is still there... I received a "memory read/write error" dialogue box which led to explorer restarting (without comp restart). However the icons all disappeared after that. I restarted the computer and the problem still remains.

Is there any way to fix this?

Close any open desktop and taskbar applications, then open your registry and find the key below.
Delete the entire "StuckRects" key, or "StuckRects2" for Windows 2000/XP, and reboot.
When Windows restarts the taskbar should be set back to a default working state.

Registry Settings
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
StuckRects]


If that doesn’t work I would suspect a virus………
