    whenever i revive the screen after it goes blank due to power options settings...the taskbar vanishes.

    and i have to restart the computer for it to reappear.


    anyone face similar bug?

    when it disappears, do all your desktop icons disappear too?

    no idea...all other graphic based programs run great.

    no..

    infact..objectdock is clearly present..and the start button too.

    only the taskbar with all the minimized windows, quick launch and tray icons go missing.

    Does it happen without object dock?

    I'm thinking a recent third party program is the culprit. Doesn't sound like drivers.

    Uninstall objectdock, it just doesnt have good enough Win7 support yet.

    When this error appears and caused your taskbar vanished try,

    Ctrl + Alt + Del.
    Run Task Manager.
    File > New Task (Run...)
    Type-in explorer.exe and click OK.
    Done.
    Close the Task Manager.
