task bar disappearing?


Question Posted Friday September 26 2008, 11:23 pm

i have a dell latitude that's fairly new, with windows vista OS.

when it comes out of sleep mode or hibernation or whatever vista calls it (when the screen is black and the power light is blinking on and off), the task bar is usually gone. it is not resized, and the start menu button is still there. it just shows the desktop picture where the task bar should be. anyone know how i can fix this? i've already run some system scans and it says things are fine, so i don't think it's a virus or anything.

Hit Ctrl + Alt + Delete

Go to "processes" and find "explorer"

Right click on it and choose end process.

Go to the file menu on the task manager and run a new program, type "explorer"

You just basically reloaded the navigation software windows uses, and everything should be fine.
