Lost taskbar

Lost my taskbar and I can't find or START.

Bob

 

Hey Robert, try hitting Ctrl+Esc,, if that don't work hit Ctrl+Alt+Del, when Taskmanager comes up click on File in the upper corner, then click New Task, and type in , explorer, or explorer.exe, and click Ok,, that should fix it.

 

It didn't it loaded a my document requester

What version of windows please.

"This never happened before and I hope it doesn't again"

 

Your are charging a $5.00 fee I thought this was a free help answer.

I am a 83 year old senior living on a SS only and can't pay you.

Bob

 

Who is charging you a fee Robert ?? plodrs' link if free.

 

The link is free but he is asking for $5.00 to fix it.

Bob

 

When the $5.00 fee box appears, just click the "X" and close that box off, the utility should fix your problem, or use the first one in the row to your left, it will say, "Taskbar is Missing".

 

There is no x to click on.

Bob

 

Just use the other one Bob. But when the fee message box appears there should be an X in the upper right corner to close it, just like Internet Explorer has, but just use the first one on the list, titled, Taskbar is Missing

 

This is what I get, and that doesn't work.

Nothing changed.

Robert see if this helps, although when my taskbar was missing after a virus attack, plodrs' link fixed it without any problems.

This I tried seems like a hundred times, I enter Ctrl+Esc and nothing happens.
