okay this is something that happens alot ot new people ..you see where the box is and it says animation ? well use the drop down and put it to modeling cause that is what you are doing

modeling in box

then the menu's will change

display->UI elements->show all I think.

Either show all or something like it.

I suggest using the hotbox instead. when on one of the display windows, hold down the space bar (don't tap it) and all of the menus come up. then pick from them.

You can also use F1 to F5 to change between those menus. Just another method, but that's the one that i prefer.

you can also hold down H then left click to bring up the same menus.

just another method.

A pint of example is worth a gallon of advice!!
