Browsers forum: Windows IE 7 menu bar disappearing, Please help (thank you)

Hi John,
The menu bar, Google tool bar is gone unless I move the cursor to the top. In addition, I can't see anything on the bottom of my screen, i.e. the windows Start button ect is gone.

Let me know the best way to fix.

Thanks in advance!

Mike



Technically the Menu Bar is just the toolbar containing File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, and Help. Is that all that's disappearing, or is it the Title Bar, Menu Bar, Address Bar, and all the rest? If it's the latter try pressing F11 to toggle Full Screen Mode on/off. On the other hand, if it's the former, it sounds like IE7 may be corrupted. First, though, try selecting Menu Bar from the Tools menu and see if disabling and then re-enabling it works out the kinks.

Let us know.
John

Hello John and Gang,
When I press F11 it does nothing on the 'offending' system. On my other system, F11 does what is supposed to do (toggle full screen mode). I had this problem in the past on a friends system and since he so thoroughly trashed his OS, I back up the data on USB drive for him and did a re-install. Not an option on this system re: IE being ill behaved. (like killing the patient for a cure:)).

What is the next step?

Thanks!

Mike
