i was downloading a trial for a game i was thinking about getting and then when the game was done downloading, it was gone. not the online toolbar, the one on the bottom of the screen that shows the minimized windows. i've tried the window button on the keyboard and seeing if it was minimized. what else coul've happened and how can i fix it?

1. It's possible that you unintentionally did a "drag and drop" that put your toolbar somewhere else. It can be located (and hidden) at the bottom, top or sides of your screen. Try moving your mouse to the top and each side to see if the toolbar re-appears.
2. It's possible that the game reset your screen resolution in a way that made your task bar disappear, because it's out of the viewing range of your monitor. Reboot your computer in safe mode and reset the display settings under control panel.
3. Any number of other things could have caused the problem. Rebooting in safe mode and resetting the display settings as above should be able to solve most of them.

It is hard to tell without knowing moro info, try Holding the Ctrl button down and hitting Esc that should bring up the program list and from there you should be able to see the toolbar.

its actually called a "taskbar" but thats okay. Anyway right click on the task bar and choose "properties" then uncheck the box that says "autohide the taskbar"
Goodluck
