I did a quick search and didnt find anything relating to my issue. I have all my program Icons on the desktop, but the taskbar is missing. I tried to boot to safe mode and still no taskbar. CTRL ESC does nothing and Explorer.exe is listed in Task Manger when doing CTRL/ALT/DEL.
During the loading of the desktop you can see at the bottom of the screen bubble messages pop up as if the taskbar were there letting you know downloads were available for download. Not sure exactly what messages are popping up as they dont last long.
I rebooted and did a repair install and ran CHKDSK and it ran its course but still nothing when XP loads.
I removed the drive and did a virus check before all this happened and there were some issues that were found. It was a while ago so dont remember what errors were found.
Any registry tricks to try? Really dont want to reformat if possible.
