IE Title/Caption not showing while in taskbar

Sorry everyone, for the interruption, but I just registered and can't find how to post an original question. Maybe one of you can tell me how to do that? Also, my immediate problem that started about two weeks ago, is I no longer get the name(s) of the sites I have open in the latest edition of Internet Explorer, all I get at the bottom of my screen is a whole bunch of Squares, the the website name used to be displayed. When I have several sites open, you can imagine my delimma as to which site is which! HELP will be appreciated. Don Kelly, 3/23/05

Don, I split your post into its own thread.

Don, Is there any way you can post a screen shot of what you're seeing?

how to take a screen shot

 

I did a print screen and saved it in MS Word. However, I was unable to cut & paste it here. Can I e-mail the saved screen to you or is there another or better way? My e-mail address is: /EMAIL]

 

Here's Don's screen shot for everyone to see. Very strange.

 

Note at the bottom of the picture, you will see three explorer icons with several squares to the right of each icon. Just above these three, the larger, yellow squares is what I see when I point my mouse to one of the lower three explorer icons. I don't get to see the Site ID, unless I open each one. I've tried turning off all my anti-virus, spam, & spy ware detector programs, but the squares don't go away. What might I have done to create this problem. It only started a couple of weeks ago. If all else fails, I'll have to do a restore from about two or three weeks ago. DEK, 3/24

 

Has anyone thought of a possible solution to my problem? Don 3/29

 

Don, I had some thoughts about the page encoding, but I tested and I couldn't reproduce the error.
Make sure that the pages are set for the proper language. If you right click on a page.. choose encoding from the menu and make sure it's on UTF-8 or UTF-16.

 

I right clicked as suggested and tried various Encodings for the web pages. They were encoded "Western European" with "(Windows)" shown to the right of the words. When I changed it to UTF-8 nothing changed. UTF-16 was not showing as an option.
DEK, 3/29,

 

Maybe I should just delete Internet Explorer, then download the latest version from scratch, since nobody has offered another solution. What do think? Don 4/05

 

You can't delete it, but you can try running a repair on IE.
this may help

Don, if you've not installed SP2 yet, I highly suggest you do. (make backups of personal data first please).
