So, yesterday, i was at a lanparty playing CSS. All went well (except that for some strange reason that when i close CSS, my computer locks up.....i'm sure it's a compatibility issue, ahvent; done a reformat in awhile and i may have hurt something overclocking) until the end of the day. I accidentally raised my resolution past what my monitor can handle, so it blacked out.

I couldn't find the correct .cfg file to fix the problem outside of the game, so i used a friends monitor and fixed it. After i fixed it, i had a little trouble getting into the game, but i often ahve trouble with steam. No big deal. Well, After the game, i exited counterstrike, and windows naturally locke dup when it ended. I did what i always do after the game locks up, i hit my power button and waited for windows to shut itself down (not a cold shutdown). Well, i started my computer back up this morning, and to my dismay and bewilderment, my taskbar has disappeared....

Does anyone know, short of a system restore or a reinstall, how i can retrieve my taskbar?

Can you see your icons on desktop? If so then you can just open task manager and File - run new - explorer.exe

If not then I dont know

Can you post a screen?

Erm hmm odd. Try this i guess :

CONTINUOUS PERFORMANCE: : To ensure that Windows XP performs at its best all the time you can use the System file checker to locate any missing or damaged system files and replace them. Click on ''Start'' ''Run'' and type exactly WITHOUT quotation marks ''sfc /scannow'' and press ''Enter''.The windows file protection monitor will now scan your entire system for missing or damaged files.Keep your original Windows XP CD at hand as you may be asked for it to replace any missing or damaged files. Other commands that can be used for this step are:

System File Checker Utility (Scan Immediately) sfc /scannow
System File Checker Utility (Scan Once At Next Boot) sfc /scanonce
System File Checker Utility (Scan On Every Boot) sfc /scanboot
System File Checker Utility (Return to Default Setting) sfc /revert
System File Checker Utility (Purge File Cache) sfc /purgecache
System File Checker Utility (Set Cache Size to size x) sfc /cachesize=x

Make sure you havent got it on ''Auto-hide'' either mate.
