Windows 7 Language Bar is gone?

[bkcrayons]

Hi, I bought my computer half a year ago and ever since then there was a language bar that I could use. It worked just fine. Just recently, my computer had to recover data (pressing f12 repeatedly during startup) because of a "hard drive damage". When i finally had most of my data recovered, I found out my language bar was missing. I tried going to control panel>clock, language, and region>change keyboards or other input methods>change keyboards>languagebar. There, I made sure it wasn't on hidden and that I had picked a language. There use to be a "EN" icon on my taskbar where it let me change languages, but now it isn't there. Is there anything else i could do to make it appear/work again? I really need it for my work... thanks.

Hi bk,
judging from what you say in your post system restore doesn't sound like an option... Checkout this web page which might just have the solution needed:
