    Toolbar
    Except for two items (my toolbar was full) everything else disappeared. I can send my
    Toolbar items from one to the other, but why did this happen? You know when you go
    Into google.com you can get maps, images, etc. well that choice disappeared. It only
    Appears if I go into Google and ask for , say images... then Google has the other
    Headings. Is something going wrong with my computer? It's an old computer.

    Hi, jammie232!

    Are you saying that your toolbar has disappeared?

    Thanks!

    What you have should show up in the start-up sequence that happens on your monitor.

    Windows '98, Me, 2000, XP, etc.

    For now, what I would suggest doing is to right-click on where the toolbar is supposed to be and see if you have options that are available to left-click on.

    Thanks!

    I'm afraid it's too late. I transferred
    All the sites for my toolbar from my
    Other screen. I lost color.. I can only use black and white... and things like the word "search".. I always have to guess where it is... weird stuff. I'm told if I get a MaC this won't happen.. I don't know.

    Mac's are more stable overall. Much fewer problems...

    I'm not sure what you mean by the "other screen".

    Thanks!

    What I mean is, I go into each item on my tool bar, pull down the red heart and sent that item to my other screenname... then I add each item to the toolbar.

    Are you using the AOL browser?

    Yes, I use AOL... but someone in this household has AOL secondary to
    Fios/to internet explorer.. sorry, I really don't know what I'm talking about... I'm totally challenged...

    I don't know about AOL, but when you were talking about the IM and the toolbars being customizable, it reminded me of AOL.

    Yes, AOL.

    Look under tools for an options button, or customize toolbars, or something like that... I'll download a copy now, and see if I can find something.

    I'll give it a shot... then let you know... but have to run for a while now.
