    just recovered windows xp after a fatal blue screen error-have lost the bar at the bottom so cant see start button or the system tray</p>

    AVG virus scanwouldn't run-told me some files were missing-tried to reinstall but wont let me-wont run Trend Housecall-wont allow me to click links in IE</p>

    Can you get to control panel ? Either by pressing cntrl&amp;esc or by pressing cntrl/alt/del - new task - type cntrlpnl.cpl.</p>

    Go to Taskbar and Start Menu settings. Click &quot;lock taskbar&quot; / apply. Then untick it and apply again.</p>

    </p>

    Should do the trick.</p>

    Have you tried running the virus scan at PCpitstop? If it runs then it might be able to tell you if you've got anything. http://www.pcpitstop.com/antivirus/default.asp
