 Post subject: Chrome Tasklist Unresponsive

I'm a new user, still using the demo, but I VERY much like what I see. I am having one puzzle. I have three tasklists showing on my desktop. One for my editor, one for Windows Explorer windows, and one for Google Chrome. The tasklists for my editor and Windows Explorer work fine. If I hover the mouse over the tasklist icon, I can see and select the active processes, whether there's only one or several.

Here's the puzzle: The third tasklist pertains to Google Chrome. I currently have two Chrome windows open, as determined by using the Alt+Tab key combination. When I hover the mouse over the tasklist icon, nothing happens. And, if I right click on the icon nothing happens. The icon seems entirely dead and unresponsive.

What's with that?

Thanks for any help!

Cheers, :?:

P.S. Actually, the two tasklist icons besides Chrome seem quite sluggish. Something's clearly not right.

My system is Windows 7, fully updated. RAM is 16 MB. The CPU and RAM meters both report nominal resource usage.

P.P.S. After some experimentation, I see that the third item in the tasklist is unresponsive, no matter what task (Chrome, IE, Firefox, Explorer). This seems to be a program bug but such an obvious bug that I can't imagine that others haven't run into it. What am I missing?

P.P.P.S. After resstarting Nexus, fooling around with various settings and creating new shortcuts and who knows what, the tasklist icons now behave normally.

Let me know if it happens again, please. Sometimes it's the application itself that becomes unresponsive and causes the task button to 'do nothing'.
