i just spilled some coffee all over my pc!! doh i know..anyway I managed to wipe it up quickly but i must have pressed something when wiping my keyboard coz now my pages are loading without the top and bottom being visible. When i hover the mouse over the top of the screen the top part with the address bar etc becomes visible and i can tpye/click in it etc. also at the bottom the start buttons etc and all way along is no longer visible. What can I do to fix this?? thanks xmyx

    If you move the mouse pointer down as if going off the screen, does the Start Menu re-appear. If so, right click on it then Properties then check Auto Hide Task Bar not ticked.

    Also, turn the keyboard upside down an tap on desk. You'll be amazed what falls out. There's probably a key stuck down somewhere.
