Just a simpe question i click on the corner to maxamise and when i do the bottom task bar/ start bar dissappears i know it has jsut shifted lower because when i press the start button the start menu comes up jsut from lower down as to does MSN alerts pop up from lower down. If anyone can help it would be appreciated thanks alot
 
Right click on any unused place on taskbar click properties and see if
autohide taskbar is checked
if it is uncheck it,

properties sameller or something like taht

When you press the Windows key, does the Taskbar also appear? If so, in the
taskbar Properties, select the "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows"
option.

Sent that last message too soon.

If the keep on top doesn't fix the problem, go to the following website and
try the fixes on Line 117 Restore Taskbar and Start Menu and/or Line 164
Restore Taskbar to Default Functionality.
