Lost My Taskbar
.
.
OK - had a problem, so I replaced everything, box, PS, Mobo,
HD, Memory, even the keyboard and mouse - everything - and
naturally, loaded in Mandrake 10.1 into the new box....
K7VMM MoBo
512 MB Ram
Athlon 1800+
100 Gig HD
Format the HD....
Clean install....
Suck Cess - sort of....
When it came up the first time, I had lost control over the mouse,
altho, the icon was on the desktop....
Lost access to everything, files, folders, taskbar - even the shut-down link....
Tried several times to reload, but the results was the same....
Got tired of it, so I wiped the HD, and did yet another full install....
Got almost everything back, even the mouse....
But - I have no taskbar feature - it's just not there at all....
Anybody ever have that happen to them too ??
The only thing I deleted from the install was KDE (I prefer Gnome), K3B and Open Office....
Device Manager, folders, log-in, start page - they all check out
just fine - I just can't bring up anything from the missing taskbar
(like shutdown, an App, the control panel, sound options,
burn a CD - I can't even shut off the screen saver....)
I can't find anything about it, or how to fix it - anybody got a solution
or a reference to a how-to, or [u]something[u] ??
HELLLLLLP -
PLEASE
I swear, I'm ready to push this thing in a bush and shoot it....
PM
