I have several computers with the same IE7 Problem. Under "Tools" the "Menu Bar" option is always checked, yet the menu bar doesn't show anywhere on the IE7 page. Not at the top, not under the URL window, NOT ANYWHERE! Additionally I can not uncheck the "Menu Bar" option. It always remains checked even though I have Administrative Privileges.

Try and click onto an empty space just below where you input a web address to see if the "menu bar" text is checked. If not click on this to get your menu bar back.

Just in case you can always download IE7 and re-install it. Good luck.

Please read the post before replying.

Under Tools, the Menu Bar option is checked.
It will not allow it to be "unchecked". Clicking on it doesn't change anything.
The menu bar is not displayed.
It is not a problem of "IE 7 hides the menu bar by default".
A re-install of the package does not correct the problem.
If you have successfully dealt with this issue, please reply.

By clicking on other display options (Links, Status Bar, etc.) and turning those elements on and off, the Menu Bar suddenly appeared. Once it appeared, I could click to display, click to hide it.
There was some type of interaction between the other display options, and the Menu bar's display.

Brilliant - after searching 100s of posts on this subject and wading through regedits etc, turns out that it's just a question of turning the links menu on and off to get it to work - fine piece of software that it is....

Thanks!

Did you look at the bottom of word? I had the same problem and was looking through the web for answers when I noticed a top of a window down where the page number etc is (are?). It was tiny but there. I clicked it and sure enough it was the missing menu bar.

I can't uncheck Menu Bar in IE8 Tools, no matter what I do. Replacing IE8 didn't help. Turning other buttons on and off didn't help either. Any suggestion?
Thanks

.... meaning that if it doesn't work right, it's not surprising. It's still being tested (by you). So, if you're finding BUGS in the BETA, report them.
