XP SP2 Task bar has shrunk vertically

I cannot see all of my Task bar. I can see just the top of it at the very
bottom of my screen. Last night it was doing that, but if I right clicked
the top of it, I got a double arrow with which I could make it taller so I
could see it at the bottom of my screen. Now I can get the double arrow,
but it does not make it larger so I can see it. I thought it might be a
problem with the vertical position or height of my monitor. So, I adjusted
the monitor and found that if I moved it up, I still got just the top 1/16'
of the task bar.

Can anyone help me find my task bar? Thanks in advance.
Bob

This was solved with a cold reboot. Sorry for the post before trying a cold
reboot. Bob
