Here is my idea. Disregard if it does not work. I believe that by default the Task Bar uses an "Auto-Hide" function. That is, icons you are not currently using will be hidden from view. Then, there is a tag like thing on the left of those icons where you can show the 'hidden' ones. This is only a temporary showing. They will revert to hidden after a short period of time. SO, click on Start, Settings, Control Panel, and finall the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties button. Uncheck the box labeled "Auto-hide the Taskbar". If the message bubble you want to see is being autohidden, this might help. If not, I have no other idea.
thanks mate but it just show's the hidden taskbar icon's still no joy with the message bubble thanks again
