Ok, thanks.
The only way I can make the fields disappear is to double click an image so it goes into isolation mode (gray bar above the window indicates this).
If that is not the case I would recommend that you delete the preference file for Illustrator. That makes it go to factory settings and everything should be normal.
A possible reason could also be that a third party plug in would make Illustrator do this (what are the symbols on the top of your screenshot?)
Do you need help with removing the prefs?
