Buttons with no text or icon

Buttons with no text or icon(except a generic white rectangle) appear briefly
on my Windows XP SP2 start bar from time to time. There is no error message;
but the hard drive lite(and grinding sound) go on and off with appearance and
disappearance of the button(less than one second). I have run sfc /scannow to
repair any hidden Windows programs that might be involved; but the problem
remains.

"stephan",

I am sorry that you are hitting this issue. This does not seem like a Windows
Update problem. Perhaps these other newsgroups would be more helpful:

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
microsoft.public.windowsxp
microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support

Sincerely,


Pat Walters [MSFT]
