Topic: Help please my windows starter has disappeared

[Digeroo]

The piece where I choose program, hibernate, etc etc all gone.  I am worried about switching off in case it does not come back.  HELP.

When you hover over where it should be with the mouse does it come back?

If it does you have enabled 'auto hide task bar' if you right click and then go in to properties and unckeck the box it will come back and stay back.

If it's not that I'm not sure - sorry

No it does not come back.  I have hovered over all four corners because it is possible to send it to another side - nothing.

oh - ummmm

If it were me I would restart and see if it comes back.

Might just be having a 'moment'

Do you have a windows button on your keyboard, at least you can use that for now.

When you go to the bottom of the screen (or sides/top) does you mouse pointer change? If yes, then you have probably made it too small, you can drag it back.

Many thanks I got brave and switched it off and restarted.  The first time it went haywire but second time it was ok.
