Stupid Computer Question

Time for a new eyeglass prescription!

Problem solved. I just used the System Restore and set it back to an earlier date. I just hate to do that as I don't use that computer a lot and I always have to spend an hour while it updates everything. And it has always had a minor error in it that when I went to the Microsoft Site said I could remove it using their tool but they recommend just leaving it as it doesn't affect anything. When you do a System restore, it does it ok but when you click ok at the finish you get this encountered an error message even though it has restored it to that time. I have looked in the Event Viewer and this error occurs every time I turn the computer on and sometimes when I do some things. Maybe someday when I am really bored I will see if I can get it out but since it doesn't hurt anything I just haven't wanted to spend the time messing with it. I even gained some free disk space with the restore as I cleaned out the whole restore after everything was working and set a new system checkpoint for this morning.

Joe Wicked was correct.

Right click on task bar, click properties, check or uncheck "hide inactive icons"

Mike,

See my post above when I answered Joe. That was the first thing that I tried and it didn't work. Also unlocked the Task bar, turned computer off and then back on and did it that way. If I take it off using that option it will put it back, but the two times it has just vanished on its own, that option would not get it back. The first time I messed with it for three days trying before I just used the restore.
