re: Question about 'My Taskbar has disappeared - how do I get it back?' Monday, December 29, 2008 at 4:40 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by DJ (1 messages posted) I had the same exact problem, I spent about 20 minutes looking through forums and such, until I looked at my display settings. I forgot, when you have two display adapters(two video cards i.e. on-board and another card) you can choose if your display goes onto the other card(for another monitor). The way to fix this is; right click on the desktop, click properties, select advanced tab(after this you should see a big 1 and 2) click on 2 and uncheck "extend my windows desktop onto this monitor". This should solve your woes.
