My wife was using her Toshiba Satelite laptop when suddenly the taskbar and start button disappeared. The desktop icons are still there.
The laptop runs with Windows XP Home Edition SP3 - IE8.
I've tried all I can think of to recover it with no success.
I can only assume that the Taskbar files are corrupt or missing. The only cause that I can think of was running a set of Windows updates prior to the problem occuring.
There is no recovery disc for the system so I can't run a Windows repair.
I've run ESET NOD32, Superantispyware and Malwarebytes to eliminate any malware.
Can you help. please?

- it is not hidden at the top, bottom or sides
- the windows logo button does not bring up the taskbar window
- the taskbar entry on Control Panel does not work
