Navigating between applications

Hi,

My ability to navigate between applications has changed and I have been
unable to find out how to fix my trouble. In the past, I could click on an
icon on the bottom of my window and navigate to that application. For
instance, if I had several email messages open in Outlook, I could click on
the Outlook icon on the bottom of my screen, a list of the email messages
would appear and then by selecting one of those messages, I would immediately
navigate to that message.

Now when I attempt to do the same thing, nothing occurs and the general
Outlook icon on the bottom ofthe screen remains highlighted. This occurs with
all open applications. The only way for me to now navigate between open
applications is to ALT-TAB.

Any ideas on how to resolve this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Use System Restore to return the machine to a few days before
this problem started.
