    help me quick!

    My start/task bar that is usually at the bottom of my screen (running Internet explorer) with my clock on it, is gone! I was exiting out of a shockwave game, and my bar left with it! how do I put it back?

    It probably got hidden so it wouldn't interfere with the shockwave program. Are you running Windows XP? Go to your Control Panel and there is a taskbar/Start menu icon. Check your settings there.

    This happened to me a while ago. I don't remember what I did exactly to get it back.

        While holding down the <cntl> key, hit the <esc> key.

        You should see your control panel in the window that pops up.

          Thanks Perry!
          It didn't work to go in and check my task bar settings, but now I know how to do that thanks to you.
          I logged off and came back on again and that solved it.

          Bf teases me when I get all helpless at the computer like that..lol

            "When in doubt, re-boot". The ultimate fix for Windows.

            Glad to see you're back in action!
