Help! Problem with IE7...

Ladies & gentlemen,

I wonder if anyone can assist me?

I recently noticed a "problem" with my browser, IE7.
When I switch to full screen (F11), the toolbar at the bottom of the screen disappears, leaving a grey bar or gap. See image. (Clickable thumbnail ).



I was playing with some settings a while back (zoom, etc.) and I think I have done something, somewhere!
Is there a way to get rid of that bar? Any help would be appreciated!


Thanks in advance.

Don

Could you possibly make that un-clickable thumbnail any smaller? Clicking does not enlarge it; I can't see what you're referring to.

When you press f11 (or when I do) all toolbars/taskbars disappear off the screen. That's what they are supposed to do.

I do suggest updating to IE8. 7 has some vulnerabilities. (So does 8, but not as many.)

Tarq - right click 'view as image' - HOWEVER it is still too small to enlarge without fuzzing.

Hi again folks,

Thanks for the suggestions.

Sorry about that thumbnail; it seems Photofcket has done something to it - The original screengrab was fine & clear when I uploaded it!

Anyhoo...
I pre-empted Tarq & BOAC's suggestion to upgrade to IE8 (following recommendations by friends), and I like it so far! It seems to be "sleeker" than 7...
