If your monitor has been reset to stretch the image too much, the taskbar, usually on the bottom of the screen, will not be there. You'll have to play with the monitor settings to shrink the image. If it's not a monitor problem, then it's probably a Windows configuration problem.

I've just changed to AOL and cant move their task bar. Google, Yahoo and ebay task bars are there as I acessed them by accident once but cant remember how!! I have XP Windows.

Monday, January 30, 2006 at 12:18 am Posted by james (1 messages posted) yeah me too...mine has disappeared. when i unchecked the "auto-hide" function, the screen 'shifts' up, or down, depending on where you had your taskbar before it disappeared. Mine was on the top of the screen so when i unchecked the "auto-hide" function, my screen shifted down. When i clicked on my desktop and dragged the mouse towards where my taskbar would be, it wont be let me bring the mouse all the way to the end of the screen. Im guessing the taskbar is still there, but for some reason, it's invisible. anyone have a solution?

Saturday, September 13, 2008 at 5:09 am Posted by ULAMSS5 (1 messages posted) the ALT+Ctrl+Delete thing works. press "e" at the processes tab, and look for explorer.exe and end it, on the top left corner of the task manager, theres the "file". click on the first option, "new task(run...)" and type in "explorer.exe" and hit enter. the taskbar appeared back for me :) but it seems everything has been reset. the "notification" area of the taskbar, the one on the extreme right that displays the time, connections, msn, and other stuff, they're all reset and not there anymore so i had to re start all the those programs manually.

Thursday, October 2, 2008 at 5:08 am Posted by meanjeanslo (1 messages posted) I've had this same problem on my son's pc. I'm not sure what he did but now when Windows boots, there is no taskbar. I checked the processes but don't even see explorer.exe listed. When I tried running it through Task Manager, I get an error stating that I don't have access. Since his user account is an admin account, I'm not sure why this would happen. Any ideas?
