[weecalf]

Toolbars have vanished from top of page just home symbol star for favourites and tool symbol any ideas

Reinstall any toolbars that were there before.

[Electrochem]

It would help if you mentioned which browser you were using!

Press F11

[factor-fiction]

What happens when you click on the Favourites star? Does it show the list of favourites and is there an arrow to allow you to move the list to the left hand side of your screen?

[ChuckFickens]

Sounds more like you've been automatically upgraded to IE9

Have read here...

[weecalf]

The star gives me the favourites list

[weecalf]

[bibblebub]

it's not included in IE9 according to this http://www.brighthub....m/articles/89055.aspx (about 1/2 way down)

[weecalf]

thanks so I now have got IE9 .dont like it can I go back to IE8 with the minimum of knowhow. How did I get IE9 in the first place?

[bibblebub]

uninstalling it should take you back to IE8 but I'm not sure how you prevent the upgrade being made automatically in the future

[kloofnek]

a while I accidently downloaded IE8...hated it...changed it back to IE8.
You probably got it with Windows UpDate...that`s what happened to me....I think..now I make sure only the important updates are done..not optional ones.
You`ll have to uninstall IE9,and download 8 in.
Or you could do System Restore.

[bibblebub]

Usually uninstalling IE9 leaves you with IE8 back on your machine, no need for any further installations.

Do System Restore to yesterday. In case you don't know how - click on start (bottom left page) Programmes, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore, click on 16 March date and it should restore it back to layout of yesterday.

[ChuckFickens]

Uninstall it if you really want to revert back to a browser that will shortly have no more security patches applied to it, leaving your computer wide open to being compromised.

You may not want to do anything like banking or use your credit card on it though.

Alternately, just put up with it for a couple of weeks until you get used to it (you will)

[ChuckFickens]

"Do System Restore to yesterday"

You may want to make a note of the date the question was asked....

[ChuckFickens]

Opppp.... I was sure it was longer ago than yesterday :)...

[Prudie]

Will it not just update itself again at a later date? I had this the other day and with some help from chuck I now have IE9 looking just the way IE8 did and am quite happy.

You can stop it upgrading.

But I really wouldn't recommend it (hence why I'm not saying how to stop the upgrade happening), the update isn't being forced out because people think it will be a laugh, it's being forced out for genuine security reasons.

If you really don't like IE9 then try another browser, Firefox and Chrome are both good and can easily be removed if you don't like them.
