Hello,

Your System Details show you are using Windows XP. Edit > Preferences are only for Macs - in Windows this dialog box can be opened by going to Tools > Options.

  • Alternatively: Menu New Fx Menu > Options

If you want the Preferences in your Edit menu, this extension claims to add it there (I have not used this myself):

Hamaky an'ity valiny ity @ sehatra 👍 1

Hello,

Sometimes toolbars are missing because they are hidden. Visit this article to learn how to turn them back on (plus other customization tips!)

P.S Next time please leave the information, like the version.

Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!

Thank you.
