task bar problems

Help required: running windows 7 on my laptop and the task bar at the bottom of page is playing up! Suddenly the tb disappeared from google chrome and mozilla although it still shows on the desktop page. have tried several remedies : open task manager toggle autohide several times- no joy. task manager and move tb several times. No joy. The only thing that happens is when ever I apply any of these actions the tb appears as normal but as soon as I click on something it disappears. Any advice please would be great.

    Are you running chrome in kiosk mode by mistake ?


    Press ALT and F4 to see if that helps

    This is bloody confusing, the taskbar is at the bottom of your desktop, it's nothing to do with the web browser. Firefox has a status bar, but they removed this a while ago and it can only be reinstated with addons.

    Are you saying that your desktop taskbar disappears? Are you running your browsers maximised in "full screen" mode? In full screen windows does hide the desktop taskbar............ Try hitting F11. If this is the problem then I can safely say this "feature" has caught us all out at some point, you accidentally hit F11 (usually when trying to use backspace on a !!!!!! keyboard) and suddenly you can't do anything. :mad:
