    If you click view at the top, then toolbars, are they there unticked? If yes, tick them

    Hi Sarah, what you need to do is so involved if you have very little knowledge. You don't need to have it, I really would suggest not using internet explorer at all but that would take ages in telling you how to download a different browser. Meanwhile type in https://www.google.co.uk and use that as a search engine, does that help ?

    I am guessing you are on Windows 7 and have switched to IE 9 - was very peculiar when I first did that. There is a thread on here about IE9 and I found it very helpful - sorry but can't recall which one, but I think for a starter there was buttons on the right hand side at the top to sort out toolbars etc. Sorry - not on that laptop at the moment.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Yes I am using Windows 7 and the computer updated and switched to IE 9 and I don't like it at all. Thanks will have a look at that thread.
  • Hi,

    if you have the menu bar up, then click on view, toolbars, you should find bing if it's there, tick it.

    If you don't have menu bar, then right click on empty bit near icons in top right hand corner, tick menu bar and proceed as above,

    Then go back and untick menu bar if you don't need it.

    Use the blue space and right click like this , for the rest use the little cog wheel on the top right for options and tools, IE ain't my favourite though FF/Opera are better.

    Press the Alt and V keys, which brings up the 'View' Menu. then select any toolbars that you want displayed.
