This does work in 2009. You can also go to the "Window" pulldown and select "Tool Pallettes"

Yeah that is what i have done. The thing is, it says that the tool palette is up but it is not showing up on my screen. I am thinking that someone has moved it so far over you can't see it and I have attempted to drag it back over but nothing happens because I can't find it on my screen. On some of the other computers you can just go to project browser and open up a new project and it works. I tried that on my computer and nothing happens. People are stating the only way to fix the issue is to re-install the program on all the computers that are having the problem. The teacher says any student that can figure the issue out will receive extra credit. So if you guys/girls can help me out that would be great

If that is the case try resizing your monitor under display settings. I just tried this and it worked for me.

I am confused. You mean the display buttons that are located on your monitor or go into Control Panel and change them from there?

Control panel

Ok I will see if that works tomorrow when I have the class again. If not, I will inform you

[danthemann228]

I went into the control panel and went to display but it is blocked by the adminitstrator and I can't do anything about that. The thing is, I don't think that is the problem now anyways. When I booted up the program and I saw the tool palette for about 2 seconds then suddenly it disappeared and I couldn't see it anymore.

The tool palette is on AutoHide. look towards the far right or left of your screen, see if it's docked. Hover the mouse over it, and it appears again.
