581942 2007-08-17 05:06:00 A lady friend's laptop has lost the start button icon.

Running Win98.

Have told her toplace the cursor to the bottom of the screen to see if she has inadvertently Auto Hidden it without realising it.

Is there any other way of bringing it back?.

Thanks for any advice.

Ps. Have done a search of PF1 lost taskbars with no joy.

581945 2007-08-17 09:14:00 Give this a go...Put the curser at the very bottom of the window, hold down the left mouse button and drag upwards. Any luck the task bar should appear. chocolate2006 (11426)

Maybe the laptop is trying to evolve into an OS X machine.
Does it have a dock now?

Well, that works better with the fridge joke.

Maybe it's a sign the laptop wants to be upgraded to XP, but not Vista, oh no, I've seen start buttons comit suicide on vista. Bam! Trojan straight to the 'S to the T to the A to the R to the T' ! Such a sad way to go.

581948 2007-08-18 10:24:00 Thanks guys, Choc. and Short gave her these two to start with, have not heard back.

Everyone used to say XP was pathetic toooo! and now it's Vista turn.

Daughter has our XP Pro lappy which only has the Start button at the bottom, which is how it was configured no doubt.

Thanks.

Thanks again.

Ps. Gave her www.computerhope.com in case she does it again.
