    Have you gone through the getting started tutorials for using the Ribbon Interface?
    It appears you have set to Compact rather than Normal (see attached image).
    Right click on a tab and set Ribbon Appearance to Normal.

    Or is something else your problem?

     

    Why does it take 11 days to post requested information?

    The problem is when I mouse over the buttons the menu underneath is grayed out. Like when I mouse over the loads button everything underneath is grayed out and I cannot click on anything.
