My taskbar keeps disappearing randomly and will not come back until I restart. Once I restart the taskbar comes back and then disappears again. I have looked at the other solutions from people having similar problems and the solutions do not work.

open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del, click Task Manager)
Click on File>New Task (Run) and enter "explorer.exe" (without the quotes)
Then click OK.
Does it come back?

I must be in that "1%" as well. On my new laptop running Windows 7, if it goes into sleep mode, it always removes the taskbar. However, I just did what angel_chickxx said and it worked perfectly. I plan to continue to use this solution and am hoping it will consistently work. Thanks for the tip!
I am having the same problem. I have NO 2nd party screensaver. Only what came with my Windows 7 software. Now what?
M5Power: I had this problem with both screensaver types (preloaded on my laptop and 2nd party). I have found that the solution that angel_chickxx posted has worked each and every time. (Solution: preview your screensaver. When you get out of the preview, your taskbar should be there.) I know it's aggravating and something we shouldn't have to do but there's always glitches in every program, right? Let us know if this works. Good luck!
My taskbar does the same thing everytime I leave my laptop up and when it goes to sleep mode. Every single time I wake it up...the taskbar vanishes
Just yesterday i had windows 7 put on my computer and i went into the setup minue and set the computer to go to sleep after about an hour of no use and everytime i wake it back up my taskbar is gone yet my start button is still there its weird and i would f\very much like it to stop
