Solved Lost Title Bar on a website application

[rater]

I go to a website (omnovia.com) to use their application, and I need to drag the window across to a second monitor. Initially the title bar was shown, for a few days, but now it has disappeared, so I can't drag the window. I recently installed win8 so I've been personalizing it (and trying to learn it!!), and likely set something to open the screen in that fashion, but I can't find a setting where the title bar is shown. I have other machines that run win7 and Vista, and the title bar is shown. I need your expertise! Thanks.

What browser are you using? Have you tried other browsers?

I use IE 9. I don't believe it's a browser issue since the title bar was there for at least two sessions. My thought is that it's some setting that I changed inadvertently that puts the screen in a mode without a title bar. At the suggestion of the site support person I tried pressing ESC and F11 with no change. One note, the screen that is presented at the site is not totally interactive, the majority of it is "read-only" (likely not the correct term), the only things I could do were to use a scroll bar & drag the window across 2 screens; there is a "chat" area at the bottom of the window.

Thanks. I'm confused because some items that I bring up have title bars, like the "screenshots" folder.

Here's a shot of the application window that I have the problem with. I believe it's a Flash Player screen. Don't ask how I got the double screens in the shot, I can't tell you (!!) Sorry it's so small, but you can see the general window. If you need to see the details, I will have to get another shot tomorrow when the site is up. I appreciate your help.

Here's a better screen shot.

If you don't have the same issue in another browser, contact the folks that run the site. It is possible there was a code change.

Interesting find; sometimes (I don't know the particulars why) when I click the IE icon at the taskbar I get a window with a title bar, and WDO/F11 works to toggle it off/on. Other times I get a full-screen window and WDO/F11 does not do anything. When I go to the site from the "reduced" window the window retains the title bar, and when I go there from the full screen one it remains in that mode. So, I added the site to the Favorites Bar, and I'll access it from the reduced window.

I have been in contact with the support folks at the site; they've been having me go through all of the basics (remove cookies, etc.) so not much support there.

Thank you for the suggestions; this is a great site!
