Win 98 SE.

I am getting buttons that say screensaver, and blank buttons appearing in
the taskbar. If I click on them, they dissapear. I am wondering how to
stop them appearing,

This is a response from Rick Rogers aka "Nutcase" MS-MVP:
These "ghost" buttons are often cured by updating the video drivers. They began
appearing around the release of IE5.0. Changing screensavers can often help as well.

Other possibilities include:

1) The Win98SE Mapped drives Shutdown update
2) The Win98SE 1394 Storage Supplement

If you have installed any of these updates and don't actually need them, you can try
uninstalling them through the .inf's they placed on your system. They would be:

1) 260067un.inf
2) 242975un.inf

Also, another method to try is to delete this key from the registry and reboot:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\StuckRects

*NOTE* Please use caution when working within the registry. Changes made here are
generally immediate. Making the wrong change or carelessly changing/deleting keys can
render your system unbootable. If you are unsure about any change, don't do it.
Before you make any changes to the registry, know how to backup and restore the
current one from a command prompt.
