Task Bar and Start Menu Not on screen

[ishelost]

My taskbar and Start menu do not appear on my desktop and they do not pop up
when I move the mouse down to the bottom. I have checked the status of both
in my control panel and it says they are both set normally. Also, most new
windows I open open up off screen to the right. This use to be only a minor
inconvenience since I coudl move them back on screen using the task bar. Now
I have noe task bar and therefore I cannot move them back. I am clueless,
help, please.

Control Panel > Display Properties > Settings tab

The resolution selected should match the native resolution of your monitor.
