Only One Letter in Title Bar

Category: Quickies

Q:

Both my IE title bar and Windows Explorer title bar display only one letter. For example the present site that I am typing this at shows the letter A and that's all. It should probably say Ask Bob Rankin This has been this way since before SP2 which I was hoping would correct the problem, but didn't.




A:

Sorry, I searched for an answer but found nothing. Anyone else have this problem, or a solution?

If you are using Google toolbar then this could be the cause, try remove and install the toolbar. (It worked for me)

I you have installed google toolbar, try to uninstall it. Open your IE browser again and see the title is complete.

The problem will be fixed, when the toolbar is updated automatically.

I seem to have this problem as well. I removed google toolbar and now my IE is ok but my system title bars are not. It is very annoying as they just open with one alphabets (the first one from the name). Anyone know of a fix please?

I had the same problem. What I did was a System Restore to an earlier date. That fixed my problem.

I encountered the same problem this week, in Firefox only. I disabled all add-ons, restarted Firefox and the problem was over. I then re-enabled the add-ons one by one, each time restarting Firefox, until the problem was back again. In my case, the cause was Comodo's recently updated Verification Engine.

Rob van der Woude's solution worked for me. I had the problem only with Firefox so was going to disable add-ons individually. Thanks to his suggestion I began with Comodo's recently-updated Verification Engine and found that to be the cause of the problem.

Thanks very much!!
