Title: PC problem
Post by: RobG on 28 May 2010, 20:01:04

When I access any website said sites would open in full screen mode with top and bottom bars displayed. The last few weeks all sites are only opening in a rectangular minimized window and I have to physically maximize to full screen. Any ideas :-?

RobG - I might be wrong but I think your problem could be that Explorer was last closed down in a minimised window. When you reconnect, it defaults to its last connection format.
You could try closing windows in full screen mode and then reconnect.
Worth a try ;)

install firefox and see if it does it with that.
failing that open 1 window maximise it and open a second window.
close the first window and maximise the second then try opening a 3rd and that should open full screen :y

It only happens on the first window. Every other tab opens up full screen :-?

browser? Open it it up, maximise said window, then close immediately. Then start browser again.

Tried that, no good
Does it when using IE7, OK with Firefox

Humm that usually fixes it, as sometimes some sites 'force' windows to a certain size and above usually corrects issue. I'd clear all temp files in IE, cookies / temp internet files and so on, junk everything but passwords (if you have any)  :y

Just cleared the cache. No matter what site I go to in IE7 it still does it :-?

Use it as a sign from MS to try a better/different browser, I would!

You haven't turned kiosk mode/caret browsing on or anything have you? Don't know what thats called in IE I stay away from it unless I'm testing a site build.

Turned nothing on. Can`t understand why it does it with the first window but open up other tabs and they all open full screen
