I installed 8.04 cleanly using Wubi. I have been installing printers and trying some things to see how it all works. I booted this morning and went into ubuntu and after I logged in noticed there were no launcher bars at the top or bottom of the screen. I could right click and do things from that menu, but could not run any programs because there was no launcher. The few hot keys I remembered allowed me to open the terminal window, but I am not experienced enough to run programs without the launcher. I deleted and reinstalled and we'll see. Any ideas? Mchael
