I just noticed that my taskbar does not show again, although it'll appear during startup and would just disappear. I didn't select the "auto hide taskbar" option and I'm very worried why this happened. This will be the second time it'll happen, and I noticed that both happened after I restarted my Pc after installing the Automatic Updates. The first time it happened, I eventually had to format/re-install my Windows so as to get relief from it, but this time around, I wouldn't like to format it. I have been to the Taskbar and Start Manu Options from the Control Panel, but doesn't seem to solve the problem
Please, is there any adjustments or settings I can make in order for the taskbar to show/appear.
I'm currently making use of the Vista to locate/open the opened pages/windows, but it is definitely not like the Taskbar does. I need help Please.

what happened to you usually happens when ever u forcefully shut down your system, after it hangs or freezes , forceful shutdown can lead to the task bar getting corrupt, also the use of objectdock can also lead to the disappearance of taskbar, it would appear for a brief then disappear after object dock loads, anyway the way i got aroud it was to create another user account and make it an administrator, u can move all ur important files into shared folder, the create the new administrator account, then move ur file into the new acc from shared folder, u may aslo need to reinstall some application, the bottom line is, it way better than reinstall of formatting

Thanks, bigrovar. After spending several hours online and on my pc in finding solution to it. It still didn't work, so I got tired & frustrated and eventually had to format it. But now, I've learnt my lessons. Thanks once again
