all the items I have up don't show up on my taskbar at all. I've spent most the night looking up ways to fix it but none of them have worked. Most sent me to Kellys corner, but all the programs say the computer is missing stuff. Please someone help! Also keep in mind I'm pretty illiterate. Thanks for your help.

ok I'm calling it quites for the night and i doubt i'll be able to find this site again thanks for your time anyways. buh bye

First off "Kelly's Korner" is an XP help site.

What is your OS? 95/98/ME?
