I have tried to restore the address bar by checking and/or unchecking and
locking and unlocking the toolbars. Nothing seems to work. Any advice will be
appreciated.

You might post to a more relevant group, as this is for Windows Update
questions.
If you are using IE, try this:

If you see the smallest piece of the Address Bar (usually the name)
then stretch the Address bar back to a normal size and move it if
necessary. If the Button Bar or some other bar is to the right of it,
you may want to move that to a different position first.

Don't forget to ensure "Lock the Toolbars" is unchecked in
View-Toolbars.

You can alternatively reset the Address Bar.
Make up a file from the lines below. Copy into a file called fix.reg
which should be created in Notepad. Do not retype, copy in case of
errors. The 1st line in the file is the line REGEDIT4
Make sure your mail or news reader does not add any spaces to the end
of a line.
Ensure the long line does not wrap at the space in "Internet Explorer"
The last line must be blank.
Doubleclick fix.reg

-----copy below this line fix.reg------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser]
"ITBarLayout"=-
//Clear the toolbar positioning to reset Address Bar etc.

---- end file above here
