resizing by hand, grrrrr...

[kris]

Hello!
Lately my XP is having trouble with opening windows when
I'm browsing. They should open to full size everytime or
am I wrong? They used to anyway...Now when i click on a
link, for example, new window appears like 2x2 inch.
small, so it needs resizing every-goddamn-time. I'm sure
there must be a perfectly simple solution for this, but i
just cannot find it. Please, anyone familiar with the
problem?
Any advice would be great!!!

Stretch the screen to the size you want, hold shift and close it. It should re-open
the stretched size.
Or create a shortcut from the browser, right-click it, properties, choose the
maximize option.

Hi Kris:
I've been using Windows XP for almost two years now and clicking a link from
an open browser window opens in a minimized window. Clicking the "F11 Key"
will maximize the new window to full screen and back again.
I haven't found or seen anything to get it to do otherwise.

Hi!Thanks for the ''F11 key'' advice, better than nothing
I guess. It's weird though, because for the last two days
there's no sign of the problem and I didn't touch a
thing! Don't know what it is, but it's an on/off thing
obviously...I remember having this problem few months ago
for some time and then it was OK again. ???
