Button bar gets bigger.

[astracom]

Hi, I have ie6 with sp2 and I have recently noticed that the button bar keeps expanding, they appear to get bigger and move to the right side of the screen filling the bar completely as apposed to half. This happens more the longer its left running. If I close ie down it then resets itself again. Hope this makes some sort of sense.
Thanks,
Keith

Do you have the same problem if you logon as a different user?

Run the System File Checker program from the Run Box by typing.....Sfc /Scannow in it and have your XP CD handy.

See if System Restore will get you back to a restore point before your problem with Explorer.

Make sure your options in IE/ Tools/ Internet Options/ Advanced are correct.

Try running temporarily with the check box "Enable Third Party Browser Extensions" unchecked and see how this goes.

"This specifies that you want to disable features you installed for use with Internet Explorer that may have been created by companies other than Microsoft.
If you encounter problems with Internet Explorer that you cannot resolve, you can use this option to help determine if third-party features are causing the problems without uninstalling the feature. You must restart Internet Explorer after turning this option on or off."


If that fixes your problem, you will know where the trouble is.
