Can someone help me out here?

For some unknown reason, when I click on something to open a new window, the window started opening up at half-size. I have no idea why and it's really starting to piss me off, because I can't figure out how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi everlong057. What browser are you using? I'm using firefox and I think both it and IE have a tendency to open windows in whatever the last setting was when you closed all windows. For example, if you closed out your windows and they were all maximized then the next time you open them, the new windows will be maximized. If, however, you do not have the windows maximized (say they are only 1/3 of the screen) when you close them, they'll open on that same non-maximized setting.

I hate commenting on stuff like this 'cause I'm not overly skilled with operating systems or computers in general, but this has been the case for me in the past where new windows will not open up in full-screen size. To fix it, I've just had to maximize all windows and them close them. Upon re-opening they seem to all open up at the full screen size.

Hope that helps, if not, well, the advice was free.

Thanks Stony. Actually, just a few hours ago I got the bright idea of restoring my system to an earlier time. Problem resolved. Thanks for the input though.

Another solution I use when this happens to me is:

When a window comes up smaller than usual, I maximize it, then minimize it to the bar, then maximize it again. That usually seems to clear it up. I use IE.
