I've developed a strange problem. When I load a flight, the menu bar at the top (file, settings, addons, etc...) no longer displays. I haven't recently added any software, although I've been running several addons without problem for months. Has anyone else experienced this issue and/or found a solution?
My system is:
Vista Home Edition, 5GB Ram
FSX with SP1
Real Environment Extreme
Several addon payware aircraft from Flight1/Carenado
Symantec Antivirus (this is not the problem, I had it on the computer before I even installed FSX)
Thanks for any suggestions! I'd like to not have to reinstall if possible.

Press the ALT key. That should bring it back. Holding down the ALT key makes it disappear.

Done. It doesn't show up at all. I have to use Alt-F4 or escape to end the flight.

Just to confirm, are you in fullscreen or windowed mode?

I've tried both modes. It won't appear in either mode.

Well when I want a menu I always just ask the waiter... That usually does the trick.
jk
I had this problem a while back, and I finally had to reinstall FS to get it to work again.

Thanks guys for your suggestions and help. I called MSFS support today and they suggested it was a corrupted file somewhere. We created a new user profile and FS seems to run fine on that. I've got to reinstall some of my add-ons (FSINN, REX) for that profile, but hopefully that will be a solution rather than uninstalling. I'd rather not have to find keys for and reinstall my addon planes if possible.

Exactly like that, except there is no black bar along the bottom.
