Does it do that in safe mode? If does then run a repair on your explorer, may be corrupt. If does not then it is a service/driver problem.

Maybe the problem is more involved than this, but could it be that you locked the taskbar in place by right-mouse-clicking on the taskbar and selecting "Lock the Taskbar"? If so, you will see a checkmark next to that menu selection at the bottom of the pop-up menu if you right-mouse-click on it. To unlock, click on the menu selection again and remove the check.
