SYMPTOMS
========

The Windows 95 taskbar is not updated correctly on Toshiba laptop computers
running Maxtime. For example, minimized programs may not appear on the taskbar.

CAUSE
=====

Toshiba's Maxtime program, which is installed by default on some Toshiba laptop
computers, prevents the taskbar from being updated.

RESOLUTION
==========

Use any text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the Win.ini file. Remove
Maxtime.exe from the "run=" line, and then save and close the Win.ini file. When
you restart Windows 95, the taskbar will be updated correctly.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Maxtime is manufactured by Toshiba, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make
no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or
reliability.
