Ok was able to repair via restarting computer. I have my task bar now, only these problems exist:
-AdobeARM.exe not found- the ordinal 281 could not be located in the dynamic link library msi.dll"
-computer takes A LOT longer to start than it did before this incident.
-also, on the system tray, there is an icon to safely remove hardware, but there is an option to safely remove my hard drive! lol

thanks essexboy for helping me out and also helping people on other forums as well. I’ve seen your name on the geekstogo forums btw.
