    When I maximise the windows explorer, all the options are missing


    Hi,

    My toolbar goes missing when I open in full window, everything turns blank. I have no idea why. I need to to right click at the taskbar and close it. I cannot do anything, windows button left right does not work, double click does not work. Does anyone know how to solve this?

    If Sfc command won't help visit graphic card manufacturer website to install latest version of the graphic card driver. If you already have latest version of the graphic card driver try previous version of the driver.

    I just restarted the pc, and the problem just vanished. Still no idea why it happened though.

    It happened again. This time with mozilla firefox. I also loose the ability to view the other tabs open and the use the windows left/right to snap the windows into place. Also loose the ability to minimize or in window mode.

    Weirdly, F11 seems to solve the problem with Firefox. I have full control again.

    Also occurring with MS photo viewer.

    After running sfc /scannow:

    Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.
    For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at
    windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline
    repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag.

    You may need updated drivers for your graphics as freebooter suggested.
    Since you have a newer board , there shouldn't be any trouble downloading them.
