    Toolbar missing

    My operating system is Windows XP Pro and Google is my Home page.
    Yesterday after a microsoft update I find that my toolbar at the top of my home page is missing.
    This is the toolbar with the e-mail and history icons etc on.
    I would like to know how to get it back.

    Thanks
    wallie

    wallie, Right click the Menu bar at the top and choose "Standard Buttons" If that doesn't work there's a fix at the link below under the Letter "T"---"Toolbar Repair".

    Edited to add: Before doing any of the above first right click the Menu bar and "Unlock the Toolbars".

    Still no joy.

    After a bit of a tussle I finally managed to bring back the toolbar minus the e-mail and History icons.
    If I right click on the toolbar there is no option for Standard Buttons, if from this menu I select Customise the Mail and History buttons are shown as being on the current Toolbar.
    Even if I select the View option then Toolbars there is no Standard buttons listed, normally there is.
    Thanks for the app which I run but nothing changed.
    I have also noticed the address of my homepage which is normally:
    www.google.co.uk
    is now:www.google.co.uk/ig?.hl=en
    I cannot get rid of this last part, if I delete it then press Enter it just comes back again.
    So back to the drawing board.
    Thanks

    Version 7.0
    Actually I have done a system restore which took me back to prior the microsoft update and the toolbar is o/k now, its back to normal.
    The strange thing is that the home page address is still:
    http://www.google.co.uk/ig?.hl=en
    Thanks

    IE7 is different than IE6 regarding the Toolbar buttons. Check out the link below.

    The Read Mail toolbar button is not visible in Internet Explorer 7?
