Vista taskbar clock frozen in time
Ok, here's one for ya.
As I'm working this morning, I notice that it's 9:15am (I just look at the clock in the taskbar). Then, as a little time goes by, I notice that it's still 9:15am. Looks to me as if the program froze.
So I double click on the time in the taskbar and what do you know, the clock is working fine but the
display
in the taskbar is frozen. No biggie, it finally came back to life little while later but still, it's a rather peculiar screen shot.

Happened to me too.
I left my laptop on overnight, when I checked in the morning the clock was stuck 11:17. And it came back to life after a few seconds

Nice. I mine finally came back after about an hour. It hasn't happened since though.

I've experienced the same thing but it seems to happen much more frequently than John; maybe once or twice a week. A quick fix is to unlock the taskbar and resize it. You don't even have to release the mouse button, it seems like the act of resizing the taskbar gets the clock going again.
