| 166397 | 2003-08-09 11:40:00 | 1. Set first window large, close & open it, it's large. Still getting the problem with the secondary window. 2. Am getting the same problem in windows explorer. Am off to bed now as my wife has already departed for it. I will look in tomorrow. Thanks, both of you, for your attempts. Maybe it's a registry thing? Nite |

| 166399 | 2003-08-10 02:03:00 | Interesting. I tried out Jim B suggestion and works for me. Looks like the secret is to drag the second window out rather than use the maximise icon in the top right hand corner.. Just use the bottom right to drag/resize window. | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 166400 | 2003-08-10 08:27:00 | unfortunately, it does not fix my problem. I think it may take a fair bit of time (if ever) to get to the bottom of the problem. I will continue to search the Internet & post on various sites. Thanks for the help guys. |

| 166401 | 2003-08-10 08:50:00 | Try this to open Internet Explorer in a maximised window For the initial window: Right click on the Internet Explorer icon on your taskbar and click Properties In the Run field, choose the maximized option. Click Apply then ok. To maximize new windows: In the existing Internet Explorer Window, Right click on a link and click open in New Window After you have opened the new window, close the original (and any other IE windows except the new one). Resize the new window (drag the edges) to the largest possible size, then close that window. Now reload IE and try opening a new window |

| 166402 | 2003-08-10 09:27:00 | I did what you suggested, but no joy. All is fine except the secondry window refuses to open to what I dragged it to (full). |

| 166403 | 2003-08-10 09:39:00 | Something strange about your system, it is not responding normally. You might like to check this utility, it might get around the problem for you. www.southbaypc.com |

| 166404 | 2003-08-10 21:07:00 | Thank you for that address. I have downloaded it & will have it as a backup. I used to use the 'no-adds' popup stopper from that company. I am going to try using the 'System File Checker' through the Run command. Failing that, I may look into re-installing Xp over the top of itself. Never done that so need to look into it to see if I can do that without loosing any of my 'stuff' Any advice or links on doing that? Cheers |
