Hi bajoman, Did you lost the whole panel bar? Or only the task bar on the right, please clarify further.

yes the whole panel bar has gone!

Hi,

you can try this in a terminal, simply copy and paste it!!:

sudo rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/panel
sudo cp -R /etc/skel/.gconf/apps/panel ~/.gconf/apps
sudo chmod -R a+rw ~/.gconf/apps
sudo chmod -R 777 ~/.gconf/apps

This is for Ubuntu so it should work but cannot say "yay or nay"!!, use at your OWN RISK!!!.

Press: Alt + F2 then type: gnome-terminal to get a terminal up and running!!. (type: exit to exit terminal)

Restart your PC afterwards!!: ctrl + alt + del

thanks for this, unfortunately it had no effect,

I decided to reinstall Zorin (as there were some errors reported, which I ignored(!) when I first installed),

now I can access all programs through the panel again and the screen resolution is correct (that refers to another post I made recently) so I deduce that the first installation was corrupted and had errors

I do have 2 versions of Zorin on the computer now, I couldn't delete my original installation, but had to resize it to its smallest option (4GB) and install again on the larger free space

I will investigate gparted to see if I can delete the first installation, unless there is a way of uninstalling it anyone could recommend
