Missing boxes (things) in the TOOLBAR...

needforspeed2
I downloaded the program Anti Tracks 4. 2. 1, installed it on my computer, and now there are missing things (bottons) in the Toolbar. . . When the computer starts it, opens everything, but when I'm oppening any other program or application the window opens but within the toolbar the applications boxes does not appear.

Desperate fr help with my RCA Lyra RD2840A!

skud2121
Just got the 2840 and was able to transfer a few files onto the device. Shortly there after everything locked up, computer and all. Now when the device is turned on without being hooked to the PC, it pauses at the RCA boot up screen for about five minutes and then flashes a warning about missing sys files.
