| start button and task bar disappeared
after downloading an msn game, our start button and taskbar have disappeared. i've tried restarting the computer to no avail. all i can find under support involves clicking on the start button, but mine isn't there. anyone have any ideas on what to do to have the start button displayed again? |

Are the desktop icons displayed?

First, ensure that the taskbar isn't just hidden. Press the Windows key on your keyboard and see if the Start Menu and Taskbar pop up. If so, you just need to adjust the Taskbar properties to not "autohide". If not, and assuming you're running XP, see http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows Media Center\Windows Powered Smart Display\Security Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Per user Group Policy Restrictions for XP Home and XP Pro http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Try using system restore.
