Something strange has happened with my internet explorer?

my internet explorer has suddenly decided to not display any other toolbar except the address bar and the google toolbar.
the actual toolbar with 'tools' at the end has gone'
my favourites etc has gone.
when i right click on any part of the whole screen i get no response.
if i click on the address bar i get 'cut,copy etc' and on a blank section of the address bar i get 'move,size etc'.
in addition 'it' (whether its my pc or the brower i dont no) will not allow me to download anything. when i click to download something (namely explorer to reinstall it) nothing happens.
i have tried using my AOL browser to download as well but the same thing happens.
i have tried system restore to no avail and also system recovery to reload all drivers etc but not the 'my old disk structure' function.
could someone please tell me what has happened and how i can fix it if at all.
also my virtual mem is running at 72%! 4more info my msn is jasonblatch@hotmail.com. i can still access the net.

thanks matt, i f only to calm me down lol. no idea what did happen but i removed an ie7 update, of which there were2. the toolbar layout isnt as i left it but all the favourites are back and the right click works again.ho hum - computers eh?!

Wow you got a world of a mess going on. You did way to much and it seems like you messed it up further when you tried to do a System Recovery. For future reference, drivers has nothing to do with what was going on with your Internet Explorer. You need to go back and undo the System Recovery change you made.

To get everything back to normal with how it looks in Internet Explorer click on "View" --> "Toolbars" and click on each of the items that you want back on.

If that doesn't help solve your problem with the rest feel free to contact me if you wish by clicking on my name and then waiting for the page to load to where you can click on the contact link.

Stop using it and switch to Firefox.

Screw internet explorer and get a Mac with Safari!

it is not a bug it is a feature :) use firefox
