    • Right-click on your desktop and select Screen resolution.
    • Click Make text and other items larger or smaller on the window that opens.
    • Verify that the option labeled Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays is enabled. If not, check to enable this setting.
    • Verify their DPI setting in the display is set to Medium (100%). Other DPI can cause the toolbar not to display or to display unusually. You will need to reset the computer. We do not support higher DPI settings.
  3. Verify QuickBooks is integrated with SmartVault. Correct if needed.
  4. Check if QuickBooks is running in the background and disable it if needed. (for 2011 and later versions of QuickBooks).
