For weeks IE 7 worked fine for me with the menu bar showing once I'd
ticked/checked the menu bar button. About a week ago the menus all
disappeared even though the box is still ticked. I can't seem to resolve the
problem. I'm running IE on Windows Vista and all my updates are up to date.
Any ideas?

What if you tap the Alt key?

I have same symptoms. No menu visable although it is checked and cannot be
disabled. Status bar enable/disable works fine. XP PRO SP2 IE7.0.5730.11
ALT does nothing
No Add-ons mode didn't help
Would prefer to not RIES unless you are highly confident that will fix it.
Seems to be common problem based on other posts, but didn't find definitive
fix elseware.

Thanks
