Long story: The taskbar suddenly started disappearing and I followed a few
links to a 3P utility that got it back, but all of the icons on the left hand
side are missing and it still keeps disappearing even after the fix. Then I
tried a system restore but that didn't work (I found what to do about that
problem on another thread!). Another idea was to reinstall Windows XP, but I
haven't got a Windows XP disc as it was pre-installed on my machine. The
taskbar problem seemed to start after I downloaded a fix from MS following a
separate problem I was having when I did "Restart". This fix was apparently
part of SP2. I already have SP2 on my machine but I hit upon the idea of
re-installing that from a CD. The process got part the way through and then
failed with some message about a library??? So now I have a PC which has got
bits of this and that on it, which seems to have slowed right down and STILL
hasn't got a taskbar displaying correctly.
