Did this just start or has it always been this way?
Try a clean boot (open msconfig and choose "selective startup" (disable everything from loading) and reboot. What happens?

As Allan have just asked, Did this just happen recently or not? Is your laptop specs capable of running vista? Or maybe you could give us the laptop model/specs and your previous OS used before Win Vista.

What is new or different since the last time everything worked properly (ie, new hw, new sw, virus, error, etc)?

It was working fine till one month ago i create new account for my child with parental control.I noticed this slow task bar load immediately after  that new account (? coincident).Yesterday i deleted that new account yet the problem still persist.My laptop specs : acer aspire 2920 with built in window vista home premium, Intel core 2 duo processor T5750, 2GB DDR2 and 160 GB HDD.

Could you post current items on system tray upon Win boot/loading? Right-click on taskbar(blue,below) and choose Properties and click on Customize... On Current Items, how may icons are there in all and how many are on hide when inactive? Always hide? Always show?

Dear Jason2074,
                     There are 8 icons under current items and all of them 'hide when inactive'
