No icons in the taskbar

I don't have any of the system tray icons in my taskbar nor do any of my open
programs show up there. This happened suddenly and not after a
software/driver load. I tried rebooting, but this did not fix the problem.

I'm running Windows Vista Beta 2. Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated.
 
Has anyone gotten system restore to actually work? My one attempt to create
a system restore point, install a program, uninstall the program (which
didn't work) and then do a system restore, left most if not all of the
registry entries behind. I could see no evidence that any restore took
place. And yes, I rebooted after each step for good measure.
 
Yes. I have successfully done a system restore using ver. 5384.4 x64.

Mind you, I have also taken steps to ensure that XP is not wiping out the
restore points in a dual-boot system (search the newsgroup for volsnap.sys).
 
Yes. When I was testing BitLocker's ability to protect
System restore points, I used SR. It seemed to work,
there were some desktop icons missing and GAIM did
not work after the SR. I had purposely used an older
restore point to see if I would notice a difference.

The only problem I encountered was on my second
attempt to use SR. When it rebooted, there was
a light blue screen that just stayed there, there was
a lot of disk activity, then after awhile, no disk activity.
I hit my power button, windows restarted and all looked
well. I looked in the event viewer and it said "system
restored successfully".
