hmm, that's pretty interesting, never ran into that problem myself.... i will try to find a solution, you could do a reinstall of just windows over your current version... that would probably solve the problem.
sigh as i was typing this my stalker just wrote me so whatever
double click the blank bar at the top
its something odd like that to get it to come back
btw stop doing clean installs just to fix problems, the fix is always easier then u think like i just demonstrated unless u have windows and windows only on a partition to make reinstalling easy
