I had the same problem. No start/Task bar but I did have a few Icons available. I
had installed another graphic card giving me another monitor output, when this is
done windows installs multiple monitor support. I only added the card for better
resolution on my new monitor verses the on-board output. Anyway when this is done
windows had a setting (option) in the display properties for one of the monitors
that if checked it would extend my desk top to the other monitor, well I only have
one monitor connected and it wasn't designated as the number 1 monitor. I unchecked
the box "Extend my windows desktop to this monitor" and that fixed my problem. I
don't know how it got that way because the only thing I did when it happened was
opened the case and took out my CD and DVD re-right drives to get model numbers to
update drivers. This setting can be found by right click an open area on the desktop
then choose "Properties" then "Settings" tab then choose a monitor to view its' properties
and remove the check box applicable "Extend my windows desktop to this monitor"
only one of them will have it available with 2 monitor capability.
