I need my win98 taskbar back while surfing!

[mikesphat]

Ever since my first mouse went crazy(im still on 2nd mouse) I havent been able to see the taskbar while I'm surfing I can see it while I'm at desktop but not while I'm lookin at And&Tech or any other place while surfin the net. Only thing left down there is a small grey bar impostering as the taskbar....it has a Internet Explorer "e" on the left and it says Internet by a lil globe on the right. I know about the F11 button and thats not the cause. And I cant "pull it up" like I used to could.

Could someone enlighten me as I'm sick of minimizing everything to go find another window and cheking the time and date out. Maybe when my mouse freaked it turned something off without me knowing.


edit:What I meant by my 1st mouse going crazy: When playing TRIBES 1, I would be fighting someone and the mouse would freak out causing me to look around like 360 degrees real fast,and uses both mouse buttons on its own usually getting me killed.... by myself.

Then while surfing the web my pointer would be stubborn on moving,it would freak out like my game and do everything at once usually closing all my windows,and caused my pc to freeze where I couldnt even ctrl-alt-del. Oh and when it freaked it would cause the left button to act like the right for awhile.


Thanx

Try right-clicking on the Taskbar, go to Properties, and see if Autohide is on?

It may also be always on top. That option is in the same place as the autohide

Your both talking about right-clikin the wanna-be taskbar I described at the bottom correct? Well it wont let me right-clik it

 

[mikesphat]

I just tried it at desktop (where my taskbar works) and neither of the options are clicked.

Remember it works at desktop but when the window opens that I surf with, I cannot see,use,or right-clik it.....at the bottom atleast. Is there anything I can look for at the top to turn it back on at the bottom?

oooooohhhh,well I turned "always on top" on and that seemed to work.

Maybe thats what yall were tryin to say
