RE: BUG: Student 2008 Encarta Search Bar x64

Well...I have the exact same irritating problem.  Of course my solution was 
to just give up and turn off the Task Bar auto-hide function.  After all, it 
is Microsoft's software and they know what we want and what is best so I 
figured that even in XP Porfessional they want to get away from the Encarta 
Search window sticking to the Task Bar.  LOL

Come on Microsoft...what is the real solution to this PROBLEM??  Thank you.

It is rather disappointing that the original post was last September and 
there is no solution yet.  There must be worse problems to devote resources 
too.

While it should be solved, I found my own solution.
It is quite simple, I used the (fixed) taskbar of Encarta 2007 for Encarta 
2008.

It works, I no longer have this problem now. But still Microsoft must update 
this bug.

Microsoft can use my solution, no programming needed. Just offer the 2007 
taskbar as update for encarta 2008. (The 2007 file is actually newer, so I 
guess they put the wrong version of the taskbar in Encarta 2008)

Microsoft, it should be updated it is easy to do and it would help a lot for 
customers having the Encarta 2008 taskbar problem and not owning Encarta 2007 
to fix it.

It would only cost minutes to make a nice update for this.

Kindest regards,
