Linux Mint Cinnamon

Until recently I was running Cinnamon 16 64 bit on my acer-Aspire-V5 in dual-boot with win7.
A couple of days ago the taskbar stopped working. It appeared on-screen but did not respond to a curser-click.
It was there to look at, but it seemed dead.

I tried to replace it with OpenSUSE 13.1 64 bit, but although it installed it froze during first boot when it got to 11% system setup.
I installed it twice and got the same result.

So I went back to Cinnamon.

I started with v13 32 bit. It booted to trial but had BIG problems with the video drivers.

I tried to v13 64 bit. It booted to trial, but without a taskbar.
I installed it anyway.
It installed fine, but no taskbar along the bottom.
I tried installing v14, v15, and v16.
It installed all of them without a taskbar along the bottom. Just 'Home' & 'Computer' on screen icons.

Does anybody have any idea what has gone wrong please?
