843657	2009-12-27 20:47:00	OS: Windows 7 x64 Have been using Firefox for years and because of compatibility issues with Win7 x64 (as in my other thread) I'm 'forced' to use I.E. I now have an small issue (not actually a problem) with IE: When launch IE, sometimes it opens to a full screen, and other times, it only opens to a smaller screen, like half or a quarter screen? How to get it to open in full screen every time? Remember I used to re-size it to full screen, then hold down Ctrl and click X to close IE. After that IE opens in full screen every time. But, this trick doesn't work anymore! Any suggestions?	bk T (215)

Tried your suggestion, but it does not always open in Miximized windows. 2. But I'm having compat issue with FF. It doesn't happen every time but quite often when I load a webpage, it hangs for 10 seconds to 2 minutes and the screen turned grey - the mouse still moves but doesn't respond to any 'clicks' I reloaded the OS at least 3 times already but the problem still go away, and found out that it only happens with FF. IE works fine. Have eliminated all other applications which I suspected initially and I'm pretty sure FF is the culprit.	bk T (215)

843663	2009-12-27 22:34:00	Sounds like an add-on in Firefox isnt compatible with Win7 and/or 64bit, try disabling them.:2cents:	feersumendjinn (64)

Right mouse on the IE icon on the taskbar (if you didnt do this above) / right mouse on IE / properties, then change it. Which icon did you go into? The one in the taskbar or the one in the menu? Sounds like a video prob, if the screen changes colour. Its not a compat prob, there's either something wrong with your system or with FF, or an addon	Speedy Gonzales (78)

Stretch that second window out to the desired size- don't use maximize. Close the first IE window. Then close that second resized window.	Sweep (90)

I did that in the very beginning (which works in previous ver of Windows/IE) but not this Win7 /IE 8 of mine.	bk T (215)
