So I come home last night turn on my pc and all is normal. Windows XP did it's usual update and I rebooted after as usual. When it rebooted where the taskbar normally was is now gone. It's still there but you can't see it nor can I click on anything like the start menu and stuff even if I have my mouse over it. As well if I have a folder, web browser or whatever open and maximize it can't maximize past the task bar so it does recognize that it is there. Even if I put my mouse pointer rite on the edge it does not recognize it and I can't drag it. If I hit my windows key the start menu does in fact open.

Now I have tried the following:

1: made sure that the task bar was not on auto hide
2: opened task manager and ended the task for "explorer.exe" and then start a new task of "explorer.exe"
3: Tried system restore

Now when I do #2 and restart the task the task bar appears for just a second then disappears again. Anyone have any other options?
