IE8...File>Print menu missing

by Walt H - 5/9/09 7:31 PM

After my sister installed IE8 via Microsoft Update, her File Menu is missing. How can this be fixed?

Have her press and hold the Alt key...

That temporarily displays the File menu in IE7 and IE8. She can also right-click the toolbar and check Menu Bar to have the traditional File menu displayed continuously.

Hope this helps,
John

IE8 Issue with the menu bar File menu missing

Greetings

I came to work this morning to discover my newly imaged machines all have internet explorer 8 installed. When the browser is opened, the menu bar is there but it begins with Edit not File. The directions the post earlier mentioned is as if the menu bar is not showing at all. That is easily fixable but what if one of the drop downs is missing. No customization has been done. Understand that this is a never used lab of computers! Help!

can you supply a screen print please?

Take a screen print, paste that into Paint, save it as a JPEG, then upload it to ImageShack, Flickr, or your own favorite image hosting site.

Let us have the URL web address to the 'full sized' image, not any thumbnail.

That may help us see the problem.

Mark

Ask the one who made the image that was restored.

Also, what happens if you press Alt-F?
