Rebooting won't work ,the quickest way to fix is to revert to an earlier time by using system restore if available, if not go to microsoft update and download any patches available, the cause i suspect is a conflict of software, so what have you changed recently will be the cause possably .

did you clear the cache prior to reinstall?
did it ever work? if so, clearing the cach should cause it to use the default dock theme.
if it worked before, did you add any docklets? if you did just prior to it not initializing, go in that theme's folder (assuming you saved the theme) and go into the .ini and take out the docklets.
