help with toolbar loss

For some reason, when I open up MT4 I have lost my tool bar.

In order to get back to my standard view
I need to click:
view-toolbars -standard
view-toolbars -charts
view-toolbars-line study
view-toolbars-periodicy
view-terminal

I need to do the above every single time I re-open MT4

Does anyone have the solution for this?

Thanks in advance

ymptom: Toolbars are not visible after restarting MT4.
Manually activating each toolbar via the menu options VIEW / TOOLBARS will bring back the tool-bars but does not save them when MT4 is restarted.
In the past we have simply re-installed Metatrader but there is a much easier way to solve this issue.
Fix1: Press F11 just to check you haven’t accidentally switched to Full Screen mode.
Fix2:

  1. Go to the Metatrader installation directory and click on the CONFIG directory.
  2. Rename the file TERMINAL.INI to TERMINAL.OLD
  3. Restart

Hello everyone,

got a little problem with MT4, part of the toolbar is grayed out, couldn`t fix it by:

- Some charts are on...

- Press F11 while starting mt4, then restart.

- Check connection (works, prices moving)

- Back and forth to a Demo and back to live account

- Restart mt4, restart PC, restart nuclear power plant

First time I see this at all...

Does anybody know how to fix it without reinstall the whole thing? That would be nice.

"Helpdesk" is of course sleeping, when you ask something and broker techies have no clue.
