| | Please help. I have installed build 7048 x64, everything works perfectly so far. However, I am absolutely unable to adjust the size of the search bar. I'm well familiar with the method described in the tutorial.. attaching a screenshot of this obscenity. NO matter what I do, search bar won't budge. This is ex-tre-mely bothering. Any ideas, tweaks, suggestions? Thanks. http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/953/exampler.png |

| | Hello Maxstep, Is it pointer turning into a double arrow for you when you move it inbetween the address bar and search bar? |

| | Thanks for replying. Yes it does, however when i try to drag it nothing happens. It was perfectly adjustable in the 7000 x64 build.. Can't do anything to move the damn bar. |

| | Strange. It works perfectly in my 7048 x64 build.  You might restart the computer to see if it may just be a temporary glitch. You might also see if running a sfc /scannow command can find and fix any bad system files that may be responsible. |

| | Sigh. It works if I bump the resolution down from 2560x1600 to any other. But for obvious reasons, not a good choice... is there an .ini file or some registry key that is responsible for storing the positioning values? Or maybe there is a way to disable search toolbar altogether. So frustrating! And thank you, Brink. |

| | I have not seen this before. I suppose that you could temporarily lower the screen resolution, set the bars how you like them, then set the resolution back. |

| | And it reverts back to the original state.. Well, beta is a beta I guess. I tried all the possible change scenarios: changing dpi, changing position on low.res. than reverting to original, doing so with res. windows open, closed, same for explorer windows - to no avail. Adjusting search bar doesn't work on 2560x1600 nohow and it always reverts back to the described position. A shame, really. |

| | Have you installed the monitor driver already? You might also uninstall and reinstall the video driver to see if that may help as well. |

| | Thank you for bearing with me. I did install it before; just tried uninstalling and reinstalling both drivers (I'm using cat 9.2, tested it before under 7000 - no complaints) just to be greeted by the same old. If there's no way to hide or disable the built-in search pane, I'm fresh out of ideas :/ |
