    Taskbar vanishes, whether hidden or not


    Running Home Premium on a laptop; AMD Athlon II CPU, 3GB RAM, and the taskbar disappears. I can access the taskbar setup dialog box via the Personalize screens, but regardless of whether I click on 'Hide Taskbar' or not, it will disappear--the whole thing, including the shortcut box at the right. The only thing that remains is the start button in the lower left hand corner.

    I also have the same OS on a Dell desktop, and have no problem with the taskbar there. Evidently, I have done something wrong.

    Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Hello, I'm using Windows 7 x64. I have placed the taskbar on top. I've noticed many applications will open at the top with the titlebar underneath the taskbar. This is extremely annoying and incredibly dumbfounding how Microsoft released Windows with this bug. How do I resolve this so that...
Getting Taskbar to STAY hidden

I have the setting "Hide Taskbar" selected, yet I find it often refuses to stay hidden. It seems like sometimes it will do this when an application/window wants to "tell me something", like that there's a new email (sometimes even when the "envelope" that indicates new mail isn't in sight), but...
