Problem with Win 2000. The bar that has File, View, Edit an

Recommended Posts

Hi, I didn't do anything yesterday and today when I just turned on my computer, and click the my computer icon, suddenly the bar that has the File, Edit, View and etc is gone. Does anybody know what's wrong with it? Please help me out cause I just reinstall Win 2000 last week so I don't want to reinstall it.

 

 

 

 

Thanks In Advance

Hi, it has nothing to do with the IE cause the toolbars for IE is still there. The one that's missing is on folders and control panel. Thanks

OK, sloppy reading here on my part, sorry.

 

Are you really saying that the bar with "File Edit View etc" is gone ? Even if you doubleclick the top border of the window or press F11 when that window is active ?

Could it be that you have an address bar or some other bar below the (presumably) blue window bar ? Somthing like a empty white field or a Go button ?

 

Look for a small grey sign like this | and try to drag it left or right.

Hi, it's really gone. The File, EDit View etc are gone. I don't know what happened. I didn't do anything before it happened. I tried to double click it but no luck at all. So what should I do next now?

Thanks

Confusing, haven't encountered anything like it. Have you really, really, really tried the suggestions in my last post, especially looking for the small grey bar like this ---> |

 

What happens when you press F11 ?

 

Do you have an address field or a go button ?

 

Is there a grey field at all beneath the blue (or whatever) window bar (top of the frame ?)

 

What do you see when you RIGHT click in the window ?

 

more tomorrow...

Same here. I have never encountered a problem like this before. I don't see any small grey like what you described it. When I press F11, it just make it full screen. That's all. I don't see any address field nor the go button. I tried to right click between the line but nothing happened at all. When I right click in the window, it just gives me something like view, arrange icons, properties and etc. I don't know what's going on here at all.

When you right click the window and select View-Lage Icons or details, does it work ?

 

Dunno what is going on, but it looks you're in for a reinstall.

noluck also. Anyway I revert back to the last good configuration. It now looks fine but I can't open the add/remove on the control panel. Do you know what's wrong with it? Thanks

I suppose from the last reply that you are logging in as Admin, or auto logging in with admin rights. If you used a different account, would you get the same results? Profile corruption under NT could be horrible, but I have only seen one go bad under 2k.

Only the admin has that problem. The other users are ok.

Try to boot from the W2K CD and use the repair option and see if that fixes the problem.

 

If you can't, then try the following:

 

Create a new user account (name it whatever) with admin rights and ignore the old one. It might even be that you could delete the OLD admin account once successful but I doubt that you'll be able to without editing the registry.

 

Still, if it was my machine I'd do a fresh install. These kind of quick fixes have a tendency to come back for revenge when you expect it the least.

I just did a reinstall. I think the registry was corrupted so I decided to just did a clean install.
