Problems accessing menu bar

[Max-Burn]

A big hello to everybody in flight sim land I have had my FS2002 for a while now. After a few hard drive problems I re-installed FS2002. The problem is that when I right click my mouse the sub- menu appears & the hide menu bar box is activated.  I cannot un-activate the hide menu box as it is not highlighted. Subsequently I cannot access the menu bar. This is indeed most frustrating. I guess this is probably a simple problem to overcome, but I am losing my hair at an alarming rate trying to solve this! If anybody knows how to fix this I would be VERY appreciative. A really big thank you in anticipation for your help.

If you can't see the menu bar when you select an aircraft, then you are in Full Screen mode (best for frame rates).  The Alt key will switch on the menu bar.

You are a star! It was driving me mad! I used to be able to access the menu via one of the buttons on my MX700 Logitech mouse, but now it won't.  Why do PCs drive us mad like this? God only knows
