Greetings Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I've got an unusual problem with my computer. The task bar and start button have disappeared I've restarted, switched the computer off for a while and then switched it back on with no effect. I have however an unusual "menu" instead of the task bar. Also, if I press the "windows" button on the keyboard, the start menu appears. WTF? Here's a picture of the issue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 have you installed one of those mucky custom skin programs? do those silly looking icons at the bottom of the screen do anything ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 have you installed one of those mucky custom skin programs? do those silly looking icons at the bottom of the screen do anything ? Yes, and uninstalling it solved the problem. Answering your question, yes, the icons resembled the running programs.I'd been using that program for a few months but it turns out that I can run the skin without it.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
