Taskbar hangs

I haven't been able to associate it with any particular
program or sequence of events, but my Task Bar
periodically "hangs" for several minutes. The Quick-
Launch icons don't respond to a mouse-over or click, nor
can I navigate to different program windows with the mouse.

After several minutes, things seem to suddenly clear up,
and life is again wonderful. Any help?
 
Typically, this is because some process is eating up all of your CPU cycles.
If you open up the task manager, the next time it happens you should be able
to go to the Processes tab and see what process is using up all of your CPU
time. Task Manager, by default, runs with high priority, so unless your
cycles are being eaten by something with real-time priority the task
managers' threads should be scheduled to allow you to view this information.

sometimes have to reboot one or more times before the
problem "fixes" itself.
