Question:
SuperMemo 2004 does not display the main menu bar as in the picture:
Answer:
The picture indicates:
- this is SuperMemo 2004
- the level is Basic or above
- Toolbar dock with the menu (or the element window menu) is missing
Possible reasons for the menu missing:
- the dock is outside the picture (the picture is a window capture; not a screen capture)
- the dock is outside the screen (SuperMemo always moves it back to visibility on restart to prevent possible confusion)
- there is a systemic problem in Windows that might:
- less likely, for Window : Dock checked, make toolbar dock invisible (problems with window visibility)
- more likely, for Window : Dock unchecked, make element window menu invisible (problems with Windows API menu operations)
Things to try to diagnose further:
- Solution: Ctrl+Alt+F11 to check/uncheck Window : Dock
- Alt+F to display the File menu
- F5 for Warrior layout
- as a last resort, delete layout.ini file from the [SuperMemo]\bin folder
The above is likely to resolve the case (unless there is a said systemic problem in Windows)

Ctrl+Alt+F11 (Window : Dock) solved the problem
