It's called the taskbar. What fixes did you try? When did this happen?
What changes occurred between the time it was present and when it was gone?
Have you tried a System Restore to a time right before the problem started?

Take a look at this:

What fixes did you try to get the Taskbar back?
Did you try the simple method of pressing the Windows key or Ctrl+Esc
to get the Start Menu and Taskbar active?
