    Hi all

    I am not sure what has happened, but I recently discovered that the
    Control Strip that appeared at the bottom of my computer screen is now
    gone. The only thing that I have done recently to my iBook is to add
    an Apple Pro Keyboard and Mouse. Can anyone tell me what may have
    caused this item to disappear from my computer?

    Sometimes software will shut it off temporarily, and won't properly
    reactivate it when it's done doing what it was doing. (Or if the
    program crashes, it won't get a chance to.)

    The short answer to your question is to go under the Apple menu to
    Control Panels, open up Control Strip, and you'll get a panel that will
    let you switch it back on.

    Let us know if that does the trick!
