Can anybody help me figure out why the start bar or task bar across the bottom of my t42p decides to just disappear?? very strange and only after a restart does it come back and than for who knows for how long?

There is an 'auto-hide' function that may be turned on. Right-click 'Start', click 'Properties', and it's the second item on the 'Taskbar' tab. That's all I can think of . . .

There are also some instances where it can stay down and not come up even if you hover the cursor near it. To "force" it up, simply bind the Windows Key to something, like Right Alt, and press it.

Control+Escape should already be bound to that FYI.

lets see, there is no start to right click on so that doesnt work. I dont see a windows key to use so im not sure about that. and ctrl and esc just brings up the start screen and zooms down the explorer page your in?

-Move the mouse to the bottom of the screen until the mouse cursor looks like you're about to resize something.

-Stretch the Taskbar up, so that it is visible.
Note: this is the most commonly asked question by new users of Windows 98.

-To do this with the keyboard, type Ctrl-ESC, Alt-Space, S, and then use the Up Arrow to resize the taskbar
