Any of you Windows gurus got an explanation for this?

Mine still does similar things from time to time.. I'll try & take a shot of it..

Now that I'm on XP, I have a completely new problem with the taskbar. I'll let the screenshot speak for itself.

Hmmmm.. your taskbars don't like you very much, do they dude??
What happens if you move it back down to the bottom? Do the full names show up again?

Yep, I tried that, autohiding the taskbar, resizing the taskbar, unlocking the taskbar, rebooting, doing a system restore, etc...

I'm probably going to build a new system from scratch. This one has got something wrong with it internally, because you just can't screw up every OS you install on it without something being horribly wrong.
