I had the same problem after KB903235 was automatically installed on my
system. Oddly, I let it sit for a few minutes while I researched the
issue on my other system and it reverted back to the XP theme without
any action on my part. I had the same thing happen with update
KB883939 and it did not resolve on its own, ultimately requiring a
reformat of the hard drive and a fresh install. Both updates also
killed my Internet connection. Nothing I could find in the newsgroups
or the Web on the subject. What a pain.

Somehow my taskbar ended up on the side of my screen and I can't
figure out how to get it back to the bottom. Please help.

Click and drag it back to the bottom of the screen. Don't click the
edge, don't click where an item is shown; click and drag a blank spot.
