Vista - Quick launch and start menu disappearing

I do not know what started this, but my quick launch and start menu disappear
after one second, and I can't click on anything.I tried system restore to
before this started, but it keeps failing and not working, this is VERY
annoying, I can't open any of my programs! I have to use the computer
shortcut on my desktop and search the hard drive for the .exe of my programs.
Cany anyone help me with this????
P.S. I am using Vista hp.

Try asking your question in a Vista group, rather than in this .NET
programming group.
To find the group you need:

As you appear to be using a web interface...

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...D-2224A4FEB3EA

Select your language from the Tree View on the left, then scroll down to
Windows. In the Windows category, open Windows Vista. There,
select an appropriate group.

You'll get a lot more interest and feedback in a Vista group.
