Dave, I remember when I installed IE 7, a message popped up and asked me if I had a yellow language bar up there (which would have covered the length of the Explorer, or so I would have thought), but I didn't have. Don't remember what it said to do if I did have it, but figured it was some error message if I had it and what to do about it. When one formats, and during the installation, they ask you for the language you are using, so maybe that has something to do with it -- dunno. ============================================= VenKat and Harriet, When IE 7 installed on my PC the language bar has a text box with a question mark in it and what looks like two text boxes overlaying each other on the right side of the task bar right next to the system tray. If you right click on any open area of the task bar you get a drop down menu with Toolbars as an option that has it's own drop down list and Language bar is one of the options. I have no problem with it, except that it takes up additional space. My question is when and for what is the language toolbar used?
