Windows XP taskbar suspended animation solution

  

Q: When I use Windows XP, when I want to switch windows in the taskbar, I suddenly find that clicking the icon in the taskbar has nothing to do. Clicking the Start button does not respond. Just like the system crashes. However, you can run the program by clicking the icon on the desktop. There are no problems with using some shortcuts.
A: This is a typical failure in the Windows XP operating system. Although the taskbar stops responding, the system does not crash, and the taskbar that has lost response returns to normal after a certain amount of time. Usually we refer to this situation as "the taskbar suspended animation". There are several ways to solve this phenomenon.
1. Upgrade the operating system to Windows XP SP1 or above. In the SP1 patch, Microsoft has successfully solved the taskbar suspended animation.
2. Microsoft has provided a special taskbar fake death patch for the taskbar suspended animation phenomenon, we can download and install.
3. Disable advanced text services
Windows XP's "Advanced Text Services" includes voice, handwriting and Chinese keyboard input services. Our commonly used input methods are also classified as advanced text services in Windows XP. However, some services, such as handwriting or voice functions, may conflict with certain software. The most obvious response is that the taskbar loses its response. For example, if we clear the document record and click "OK" or open multiple IEs to quickly close, the taskbar suspended animation is likely to happen. In fact, there are not many people who use the voice and handwriting functions in the advanced text service. We can turn it off completely. Open “Control Panel", click “Switch to Classic View", double-click "Regional and Language Options", click the "Language" tab in the dialog box, and then click “Details” ; button, in the "Text Service and Input Language" dialog box that opens, click "Language Bar", select the "Close Advanced Text Service" option and save the settings. Since the Chinese input method is also part of the advanced text service, the result of turning off the service is that the input method switch bar disappears. We can only switch the input method with the shortcut key < Ctrl+Shift”.
4. Turn off visual effects and use the classic start menu
Sometimes the taskbar suspended animation may be related to visual effects, such as the taskbar suspended in the quick shutdown of multiple IEs. At this time, we can right click on the desktop <;My Computer" icon, select “Properties", click “Advanced" tab, click "Performance" "Performance" ; button, in the "Performance Options" dialog box that opens, select "Adjust to Best Performance", save all effects and save and exit. Then right click on the “Start” button, select “Properties", select “Classic Start Menu" and click “OK"Save.
