Ok here is a screeny of my problem...

Everytime i click on "open a new window" a get a small box instead of a somewhat full screen..

This started happening a couple days ago and I really do not feel like reinstalling IE..

Thank you...

Switch to Firefox. Firefox > IE.

Someone resized the un-maximized widnow and didn't resize it. Just resize it and it will stay that way the next time you open it. What's the big deal, anyway? Just maximize it, :tard: :P

Firefox or mozilla?

Which one?

How do i fix this first because most of my family uses IE...?

Jeffro, what Dakana said should work. That happens when you close a window after you've changed the size without maximizing it again.

FireFox is nice because it's very compact - I don't think they are many registry things, and it's a simple ZIP folder - no installer or anything. Also, the extensions are very nice, but even without them it rocks.

I found a link and fixed the problem like this...:)

Open the link in the new window...then CLOSE the first window...

then resize and shutdown IE...

Worked like a gem...:)

Just DL Mozilla. Firefox is a stripped down version of Mozilla. Firefox primary is for web page browsing. Get the Mozilla browser. So far no problems. IE is buggy and a doorway for hacks.

Netscape 7.1
Don't completely uninstall IE as some websites/applications require it.

They don't call it Epxloder for nothing.

They call it Epxloder? :P Exploder, :tard:



Anway... I downloaded Netscape and full Mozilla a bit ago, but I still like FireFox the best. I also use Thunderbird for my mail.

Actually, Mozilla and Firefox are different. Architecturally, Firefox lacks all of the hooks for the bloat stuff that Mozilla comes with.

simple way is open one window resize to desired size then close while holding ctrl down should work
