Question Another SP2 problem?

I just downloaded SP2 for my XP. Upon restart, I noticed my taskbar had disappeared. After freaking out for a few minutes, I tried to get it back up. It's not merely hidden at the bottom of the screen. I can see a bar at the bottom, but I can't drag it up. Somehow I got it to come back (I think I went into properties and changed the appearance to classic or something like that). When I opened any files or minimized them, I noticed that they wouldn't collapse into the tabs on the taskbar, rather, they collapsed into tabs at the bottom of the screen, above the taskbar. Today, I start up my PC and it has disappeared again, and the fix I used yesterday does nothing at all. Any suggestions?
