Yikes! no menu bar

sweetly · 12-01-2003, 06:33 PM

I know this sounds pretty stupid, but I somehow lost my menu bar and can't get it back. All I have is the blue bar at the top. Any ideas how to recover it?

What menu bar? Do you mean the taskbar for windows? If so, just drag the blue line down a little bit. However, if the taskbar is locked, you are going to have to unlock it.

It won't let me drag the blue line down - I'm guessing it's locked. Any idea how to unlock it?

hit Ctrl+F11

sweetly · 12-02-2003, 12:13 PM

Thanks...I finally located the disc & reinstalled the program.

ober · 12-02-2003, 12:33 PM

reinstalled??? WHY?

sweetly · 12-02-2003, 04:00 PM

well, nothing I tried seemed to work and I couldn't find the disc for about a week. It only took a few minutes to reinstall (I did it before I saw your Ctr +F11)...but Thanks for your help

freakin n00b

He probably meant some toolbar in an application, like in IE where you have back, forward, stop, refresh, etc...just a guess

Waldo2k2 · 12-02-2003, 09:19 PM

don't think so

A few months ago the tech support guy in my Mom's office reinstalled windows on a machine because he didn't how to fix this either. I still laugh about that to this day.

WTF is wrong with all of you smarta$$es? Did you not READ? I said menu bar. Do you know the difference between a MENU bar and a TASK bar? And it was not in windows, it was in MS Visual C++!!!!! Okay I didn't say it was C++, but I didn't say it was Windows...and isn't this a C programming site? Yea, that's what I thought.

freakin geeks
