Updated software, now no icon in task bar

I downloaded the latest update for my MyBook on a Windows XP machine.  When I rebooted the machine, there is no icon in the task bar, and I cannot see how to look at the date for the back up on the external drive.  I now no longer know how (if at all) my dat is being backed up. 

Can anyone help?

What version of Smartware did you upgrade to?

Try restarting the computer to complete the installation process.
