Various programs running in the background can "wake up" your computer to update themselves over the internet, run scheduled tasks, or things of that nature.  That would be my guess!

You probably (very likely) have a virus. It's disabled your Task Manager so you can't see its process running.\n\nInstall anti-virus software immediately, and be more careful next time.

I fyour taskbar's been moved from the original location, you can move it back by right-clicking on any part of it which is tan & unchecking Lock the Toolbars.  Then you can move it wherever you wish.

Right click close to the clock and left click Task Manager in the box that opens. In Task Manager click on the proccesses tab. \n\nThis is everything that is running on your computer. Click 2 times on CPU to see what programs are using the most resources. It will be listed by % of the total.\n\nIf you do not recognize the program, type its name, including the .exe into an internet search engine and the first or second result will be a site that will identify it for you and make suggestions as what to do about it.

It didn't disappear... its still there its just that you have to drag the task bar back up to where it usually is. Point it with your mouse on the bottom then right click on the mouse to drag it back where it use to be......or you can use the windows button on your key board.

If you are doing this for nefarious reasons (beating out a 90 or 120 day trial version of software), you can't "disable" the clock, however you can adjust its time in the BIOS.\n\n    Another possible way is to remove the CMOS battery on the motherboard.  I do NOT reccommend this.  It will cause the internal clock to reset to midnight Jan 1, 1980 every time you start up.  The internal clock is critical to a lot of internal functions, and is asking for problems.\n\nIf this is what you're going for, just buy the software, or get freeware(Linux).  It's too much of a hassle to deal with this every time you turn on your PC.\n\nIf you are asking this because you are tired of seeing the time in the lower right corner of your screen, that is another matter.  Just right-click on the start button, and select Properties.  Select the Taskbar tab, and uncheck the "Show the clock" checkbox.  Click OK, and you're all set.

Place your mouse over the task bar right click on the bar check to see if the lock task bar is checked. if so un checked it. Now place your mouse on the task bar while depressing the left mouse key drag it to the bottom of the screen and release. Good Luck

if its xp it probably just needs to have the cookies, temporary internet files, and the msconfig startup cleaned out. how many icons do you have showing up next to the clock?

look at the process list in task manager. Sort the list by CPU usage. Find out which program is taking up CPU time. Go to google and search the name of the program to see what it belongs to. It may be spyware left on your computer that cannot be cleaned with spybot or adaware.

By task bar I'm assuming you mean the quick launch. Also, assuming you're running windows xp go to the lower left of the screen (just to the right of the start button) Right click and highlight toolbars. Then make sure there is a check next to quick launch.

make sure you are listed as the administrator or that you have admin privilages.... if you are and you still have that problem then you can always go into the antivirus program and set it up through there.... you can also set any spyware detection programs to run like that as well.... I've found it eaiser to do it this way then with task scheduler..... task scheduler never ran properly for me even after i had all tasks listed....

Click on start and then settings and then control panel and there you will find Date/Time.  Just click on it and go from there.  That is how I changed mine and I had the same problem you are having.
