1. What's in the quicklaunch bar.
2. What program crashed coming out of sleep? I know some do that and it's not a windows issue. More detail might be in the EVENT VIEWER but when you crash "when you do that", stop doing that.

When my comes back from sleep (powersaver) mode the quick launch bar disappears. Also, after it disappears any window that I minimize disappears.
The file "users/microsoft/internet explorer/quick launch" exists and has a program list in it.
The Quick Launch box on the toolbar menu is checked.
When I reboot the computer the Quick Launch toolbar reappears.
Does anyone have a suggestion? I would really appreciate some help on this one.
