1383362 2014-09-06 00:04:00 My screen display in W8.1 has changed. When I access a site now I get a blue bar across the top, showing the URL and a tab. The usual red cross in in the top right corner is there, and back and forward arrows are on the left. I can find no way to turn this blue bar off. The usual grey 'back' button on the left of the main screen has gone.

What am I missing?

1383364 2014-09-06 00:45:00 Hi Speedy. Presumably IE11. Richard (739)
1383365 2014-09-06 01:03:00 Can you take a prtscreen of this bar and post it? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1383366 2014-09-06 04:25:00 Try pushing F11 for fullscreen mode. Works in other browsers also.

what you describe just sounds like the normal appearance of IE11

Yes, it does. But is different from what I had before, when I had the W8 grey back button on the left centre of the screen. Also taskbar properties are not working in making any changes selected, and I have just noticed that PF1 is not remembering my log-in, so I have to log in every visit. What's going on???

1383368 2014-09-06 23:09:00 Well, it's got me bluffed, everything has fixed itself overnight. I will never fully understand these machines, they seem sometimes to have a mind of their own.

thanks for your help and suggestions guys.
