Question Missing Task Bar

Hi guys

Hope all is well with you all.

I have been having this problem for a long time which is my task bar at the bottom of my laptop disappears when pc has gone into sleep or screen saver comes on or when i close lid and open and i cant retrieve it. I have to open task manager to find what was in the taskbar, its so annoying,

I am running Windows 7, An Acer Aspire Intel Pentium

I have searched around the net for solutions and tried them all and it still disappears.

Any ideas please

Do you have a third party Screen Saver installed? It could be interferring with the Power Management system.

Also incompatible drivers can cause this: particular Video Drivers have you run a Windows Update lately? Have it set to Automatic Update?

Hello

Thanks for your reply.

The answer is yes to all your questions, this is a relatively new laptop and runs well, all updates are automatic and up to date but i also have a third party screen saver installed, i have uninstalled this now and i am a waiting for the result from this. I will return if it happens still, thanks

Just an update: by removing the screen saver which was a box office true blood saver, the problem has been resolved.

Thank you for your help

Welcome, shame it's a bug in Windows 7 that MS hasn't resolved yet.
