Lost task bar control

Since upgrading LV from 7.1.1 to 8.0.1, I no longer have control of the Windows task bar while the vi is running. For example, I need to use Windows Explorer or the Start button. Is there a setting for this? The OS is Win XP-Pro.
Dave J.

I'm having trouble with this and find it baffling.
Why am I having this problem now that I've upgraded to version 8.0.1?
If I set FP.State to Minimized or Maximized when the main vi is started, I still do not have access to the task bar.
If I set FP.State to Standard when the main vi is started, the task bar is covered by the main vi front panel. However, this happens only the first time when running the program. Subsequent startings will gain me access to the task bar. So this means that I'm going to have to start the program twice. Also, when set to Standard, the vi toolbar is no longer available after the vi is stopped. Why?
I tried changing the Window Behavior in vi properties (Default, Floating, Modal) to various settings. I normally set it to Default in the main vi and Modal in the subvi's. I also tried to various settings to allow the user to close, resize and minimize the window. Changing these settings does not help.
In short, I need the end user to have access to the task bar while the program is running. This is important because I don't want to shut down the program to gain access to generated reports. (We use Microsoft Report Generation Toolkit). I would also like to not run the program twice to get it working. Is this doable in version 8?
Please advise...
Thanks,
Dave J.

New Task Bar Control for Yahoo! Music Engi

Thought those of you who use Yahoo! Music Engine would like to check out a free task
bar control for the player. I found this buried in the Yahoo Forums from early July.
I was trying to find a remote that wouldn't shut down everytime I clicked my mouse or
changed a page in Windows. Hope some of you find it useful.

<FONT face="Courier New">from <FONT face="Courier New">the Taskbar."

This is just an update on the Task Bar Control. Whenever I had shut down my Yahoo! Music Engine,
after installation of the Task Bar Control, two errors would show.
Today, Yahoo announced a new mandatory upgrade on the Yahoo Music Engine. The new upgrade
went smoothly and now shows no errors when I shut down the application.
Life is good again.

Lost the 'file, edit' etc'task bar on the left side of my mail menu. my upper left screen reads 'welcome to lightroom moblie. I never had nor can use these. how do i back to basic LR and upper left task bar?

I have lost my 'file,edit, ...' task bar from the upper left side of my LR screen. My upper left corner now reads something about welcome to Lightroom mobile. ( I have never had or used the mobile version and I can't use it anyway. ) When I push my mouse pointer up again the top of the screen the 'file, edit,...' does not reappear and stay as it has been doing for the last 3 years. How can I get it back? And, maybe what did I do so I can avoid this from happening again? Thank you. (I am not PC knowledgeable, please bear with me.)

Does the menu bar appear when you move your mouse pointer to the top of your display. If so then you could change the behavior of Lightroom via the menu Window->Screen Mode
Hope that helps

Windows will scale applications display or windows will not scale application display depending on how the application is coded. Photoshop is coded in a way that its display is not scaled by windows. Photoshop knows about your displays high pixel count not its resolution so it uses its pixels however it does not scale its UI to make it usable on your display. Other application let Windows scale their display output.   For example Microsoft default for is Surface Pro 3, 216 ppi display is to scale applications display up 150% so the surface pro 3 display which has 2160x1440 pixels a 216 ppi resolution look like at display with the user is using with 1440x960 pixels. The Application works like the display is 1440x960 and Windows scale those pixels to the displays using the displays 2160x1440 pixels the effectively changing it resolution to 144ppi rather than the actual 216ppi.
The reg update and external manifest file effectively tells photoshop its working on such a size display display some number of pixel wide and some number photoshop uses that as the display size in turn Windows scale those pixels to use the displays 2160x1440 pixels efector lowing its 216ppi resolution. Photoshop CC 2014 2X UI would be like using windows 200% option applications would be shown the are working on a display 1080x720 instead of the Surface Pro 3 2160x1440. Note that 1080x720 does not meet PS requirement of 1024x768. Photoshop UI would not fit on the Surface Pro 3 display..
Since you have a 4k display if you have CC 2014 you can use its 2x UI effectively Photoshop will be running on a 1920x1080 display and have half the resolution of you 4K display 3840x2160 pixels four native pixels are use as a single pixel.   1920x1080 pixels exceed PS requirement.

I have lost the task bar/start menu, how do I get them back? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling without success, the other user on my computer does not have this problem.

Yesterday, I went to the site for levno computers, using my web access for my work email. I opened the page to view the outlet items and was never able to get back out of it. Finally used ctrl,alt,delete and ended the task. After that the this is what my task bar looks like, I cannot resize or exit using tabs at the top or bottom they are not showing, nor is start showing in the lower left hand corner where I like it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling that did not help.

Hello Sher.
If you're talking about the menu bar, press ALT or F10 in your keyboard to make the Menu Bar temporarily visible. If you want it to be permanently visible, go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'', or right-click the Navigation Toolbar (the Reload button, for example) and select ''Menu Bar''.
If this doesn't help, right-click the navigation toolbar, select ''Customize...'' and click ''Restore Default Set''. If it doesn't appear right away, try pressing ALT or F10. You can go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'' to make it permanently visible, or right-click the Navigation Toolbar and select ''Menu Bar''.
If none of this helps, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Try disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal.

I have lost my toolbar and task bar. I have tried all the sugestions on this site to no avail. I don't know how to try a system restore with out them.

I was enlarging pictures on Facebook to full screen. When i went to move on. All my tool bars and my task bar have disappeared. I have tried all the suggestions on this site to no avail. I don't know how to do a system restore without my task bar, and don't want to lose my book marks. Please help, i can't grt to my important favorite sites.

Can you launch a new window (Ctrl+n for a normal window, Ctrl+Shift+p for a private window) that has the usual complement of toolbars? If a new window also is missing bars, try using the View menu > Toolbars list to restore them. If the classic menu bar is not displayed, usually tapping the Alt key or the F10 key will show it temporarily.

I lost my Start button and my Task Bar

I have been dealing with a serious virus for a couple weeks now that makes my computer run extremely slow. I ran several free antivirus and antimalware programs trying to fix my problem. This resulted in getting an error msg on start up that states "Windows
Explorer has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. After Explorer closes I have no desktop. Its a black and blank screen. I can still get to Explorer
by using ctrl-alt-del however I no longer have a Start button or a Task Bar on my Explorer home page.
I have tried several online suggestions on retrieving the Stop button with no success. I'm sure the blank screen at start-up is a result of the virus but I have no clue on getting rid of the virus at this point.
Please help me out if you have any ideas...Thank you!!

Try this tool: Malicious Software Removal Tool

If you have a restore point, try to return the system to an earlier point in time when things worked correctly.
Or use Startup Repair to fix this issue, please refer to this link:

Do one of the following
ChooseStart > Control Panel > Display.
Right-click the Desktop and choose Screen Resolution. Then, select Make Text And Other Items Larger Or Smaller.
Choose Smaller - 100% (Default).
Click Apply.
When you are prompted, click Log Off Now.

Firefox 4 is not appearing in Task bar or some times it is Disappearing from task bar when i am minimising the window. so, i had to go to Task manager and find the icon.Its becoming big messy if tabs are not found , to switch programmes.

firefox icon is missing from "Task bar"when i am minimising the window

I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site?

I can no longer see my task bar when I am in another program. How do I get it back?

Lost the menu bar too, but I fixed that. Still do not know how I did it. I want my task bar back so I can adjust volume and see the time. Only time i see it now is when I am on the desktop and all icons are showing.

As you can see from a brand-new virgin install of Firefox, no addons, no pre-existing profile, version 29 DOES put the menu bar on the taskbar. And Firefox, configured as I have it, on a system configured with High-Contrast colors (black in my case) turned on, Firefox is unthemeable.
But never mind, I solver this one myself. I booted into XP and used an un-updated Firefox to find a new addon named "Classic Theme Restorer". That did the trick. Mark this one as solved. But....
I wish developers (not just Firefox) who wish to fancy up their user interfaces would think about how it would affect the visually impaired. We use computers too.
