Hi,
Address Bar... If you can see any part of the Address Bar or the word
Address try double-clicking it.

In IE> View> Toolbars, Address Bar is checked, right?
Then go to IE> View> Toolbars, uncheck "Lock the toolbars" Grab the vertical
"handles" at the end of the various toolbars and move them around- up and
down as well as side to side.

Or go to http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFAQ.htm#IEToolbars Download and run
this REG file to reset IE toolbars to default:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/reg/IEToolbar.reg
[Close all browser windows and apply the REG script]"
- - -
Windows / text size...
Try Internet Explorer> View> Text size. A shortcut to this setting is to
hold down the Ctrl key while turning the mouse wheel. Accidental use of this
shortcut may have changed text size.

Hope this helps,
Don
[MS MVP- IE]
