I too have this problem but I found another solution "temporary" which is creating a shortcut to the screensaver I use "Digg spy screensaver" to easily activate it whenever the taskbar disappears..
Taskbar disappears

I had this start happening after installing the System 47 screensaver from mewho.com. It looks like it's the fault or the screensaver since the trick of previewing/cancelling restores it. I've changed to a difference screensaver so hopefully it's fixed.

I would disagree that it is the fault of the screensaver because it happens when the screensaver comes on. It didn't happen with XP or Vista, so something in 7 is in conflict 3rd party screensavers. Seems to me that if they can develop a nice OS like 7, they could fix the problem. They just don't seem to care.

No you are wrong. This IS a problem with Windows 7. The taskbar should be more resilient to this type of issue as it was with all previous versions of windows.
This isn't just happening with one third party screen saver, it's happening with a number of them.
A number of screen savers that ran fine on the previous O/S's. Somethings changed, and surely one day, MS are going to find out about this and fix the 'problem'. Unfortunately, because the probability is that it's easier to make contact with aliens than get technical issues through to Microsoft!, it may be some time before they realise and address the issue.

Yes, I agree. These are all the same screensavers that ran fine with XP & Vista. They haven't changed, the OS changed. MS already has our money, they're in no rush to fix such a minor problem. They have always been a little arrogant that way.

Oh so I am wrong now huh?
Well the real issues is that something changed in MS' coding in the taskbar that is not causing a glitch with the coding of the screensaver. It really is not either parties fault, but the fault is still there. The best idea is to either not use that screensaver, or go back to XP/ Vista.
You might try disabling different things in the taskbar to find the specific area. Try turning off aero too.

Timelord ...I think I have to disagree with your reasoning. This is a third party application, and it's up to the (code)author to make it compatible with the version of Windows 7 you're using.No you are wrong. This IS a problem with Windows 7. The taskbar should be more resilient to this type of issue as it was with all previous versions of windows.

You are right and I also thank you for pointing it out.This would be a problem with the guys that wrote the screensaver, not Seven
