Scroll bar

Post by dewaltdisney »

I have somehow lost my left/right scroll bar at the bottom of the screen. I cannot figure out how to get it back? The side scroll bar is fine. Any ideas?

:dunno: Scroll down...perhaps it's fallen off the bottom??


Looking though I don't have a left/right scroll bar... :scratch:

Which program is it missing from, browser, excell or where?
If browser, which one?

Is the page showing Full Screen and does it overflow off the edge?

It is the browser window on Vista Dave. It is normally always there but I must have clicked something and it is gone, I have been through the Help thing which is useless on Scroll bars.

That makes the screen small but it does bring the bar back. As soon as I enlarge it vanishes Scruff

Speaking of 'scrolling'.... whenever I access a page on the forum that has the (any) Virgin advert on it, I lose the ability to use the scroll wheel and/or make a quick 'page back' click using the mouse button......

am I being 'hijacked' to view their ads???
Don't take it personally......

It disappears because the full window is on view and nothing is hidden to the left or right of the edge of the window.

That is perfectly fine.

Also when I zoom it pops up too. I could have sworn it was always there?

You may have been confusing it with the status bar just above your taskbar.

KE, I cannot help much with the scroll not working when the Virgin ad appears, as I don't see it so cannot try to replicate the problem.
Does anyone else have the problem that KE is having in his post above?

Hold ctrl down and scroll the mouse wheel, and you can make it bigger or smaller.

I think you may have changed your screen resolution. You couldn't display the full width of a web page with 800x600 so you have to scroll left and right. The same is happening when you make your browser window smaller or zoom in.
