Just got Settlers 7 but cannot play because the bottom toolbar does not appear on my screen. HELP!

sorry lad i think you're not looking in the right place for help, this is a settlers 2-5 forum, part 6 and 7 are not available here on GoG.com so you wont find many players here who acutally play settlers 7. you should look in the official ubisoft forums here
