A few days ago I restarted my computer for the first time in a week. Upon rebooting my wallpaper was gone and a screen came up saying restore active desktop settings so i clicked it. Then to my surprise the taskbar was gone. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/9279/desk4xk.jpg
I tried opening up taskmanager then ending the process of explorer.exe then re-running explorer.exe this causes the taskbar to momentarily appear then it disappears...I have no idea what is causing this does anyone have any possible solutions to this problem. Thanks
When I apply classic style nothing at all happens, it stays blank. I'm not able to expand or move the tasbar by dragging becasue when i try to drag it nothing happens and when I try to right click to see if the taskbar is locked nothing happens.
Probably this won't help at all but... That has happened to me too a few times. The only difference was that instead of clicking to restore, i rebooted my pc from the boot button directly. Worked as a charm, then i re-apllied all visuals and icons (whatever) and everything went back to normal. You probably tried that already but anyways...lol
