Make sure your Security Accounts Manager is running! Friday, October 14, 2005 at 1:07 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Marfan (1 messages posted) My taskbar disappeared. I tried everything discussed in the other threads, no luck. It turned out the cause was that the Security Accounts Manager service was disabled. With this service disabled, you are unable to enable it! Solution: Open the Task Manager (ctrl-shift-esc) Do File -> New Task -> msconfig In the Services Tab, make sure the box for Security Accounts Manager is checked. Hit OK and Reboot.
