NO Menu Bar in Messaging Window.

Hi plz help me..I recently bought a new Computer but its Vista version. I
know they have some issues. My computer is a ACER Desktop. When I go to
Windows Live messenger, I notice my Messenger window is different from when I
was on with my older computer. The part where it has a bar or menu where you
have pictures of phones ( for calling another computer), plus it had icons of
folders and music and games...well I don't have that on mine now. Its all
just blank. All I have on my Instant Message Window is the winks and
Emoticons,Nudge etc. (those are below) I have nothing at the top. What can I
do so I can phone people on their computers?

Greetings,

Actually, what's probably happened is that top toolbar has been turned off. To turn it back
on, open up one conversation window, and then press the Alt key on your keyboard to bring up
the menubar. Choose the Tools menu, then Show toolbars, and then choose Standard.
