Restore missing menu bar in Lion?

So, menu bar is missing after installing 10.7. Only spotlite is shown, but not working, shows "waiting" when mouse over. Repairing permissions does not help. Any ideas? Problem is that I don't have internet acces since Airport icon is not shown, and when trying to acces it via system preferences, it freezes. So upgrade to 7.1 is not an option..

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

Hey Guys,

I have had the same problem... I've even reinstalled lion and still have same problem.


Also when restarting in safe mode i don't have audio icon - so no audio. but after restart again, it all works fine.


But restart or turn off after that and i have to do it all again.


Have Apple seriously got no solution for this problem???

re menu bar missing. You've got to go to View, exit full screen mode, then reopen a page and move arrows to corners of the page to make them the size you want. Close the window. When you reopen, Presto! all is restored. I don't exactly know how it gets tripped up, but I had to spend some time figuring this one out. When opening a new page it will be the size of the previous page. Just remember take the arrows and move the page in or out to the desired size, close window, reopen, and all will be in sight again.
