I boot up into regular or safe mode, and my taskbar is COMPLETELY frozen. Tray and start button in all. I can use the desktop, and can CTRL+ALT+DEL and start...

I turned system restore off. I think I know what the problem is, because it only happens after my notebook is on for a while. After a quick reboot it works fine.

No, didn't work but thanks for the suggestion.

Okay. Brand new laptop (Christmas). Worked find until NOW. It's not major. If I leave it on from 8:30 PM (bed) to 6 AM (awake), and I try to click any links, I have to click it a few times for it to...
