My bootcamp Windows XP crashed while I was in Coherence mode. When I rebooted it the task bar was missing in both coherence and windowed. I have read other posts on the subject and attempted the fixes. They have not worked. When I uninstalled Parallels Tools from XP, the task bar reappeared. After reinstalling Parallels tools, the taskbar again disappeared. I think its pretty clear Parallels is causing the problem, but I have not figured out how to recover from it yet.
Hello Prioret, While in coherence mode, go to Applications menu and choose show Windows Taskbar. This will get back the taskbar as it was before. Thank you.
