For the record, I'm on WinXP SP2, IE7 and I'm missing the dashboard too. Actually, I was missing it, and then I clicked on 'Setup', and it appeared behind the setup window which was not maximised, so I could see the dashboard area behind it. Since then, I haven't had the dashboard at all, and clicking 'setup' didn't help this time.
