Hi
I know I mentioned to you yesterday aboutmax/min control in top right corner.
I spoke with mu hubby just now and said that dragging it is the only way to solve this problem.
Go to the right hand corner of the screen that is showing at present. Drag to size required and you should not have a problem again.
Hope you manage to solve the problem.

deggers316, try this, when it opens in minimum, right click on task bar on task, click on restore, this will maximize, close window, next time it opens it should be maximized,..........I hope

thanks for all your help but even ermadeas' answers has not worked,i went into system restore before this problem started and it still does it.
ah well just have to put up with it
cheers everyone

deggers316, No It's got nothing to do with system restore, it's to restore the page when it opens by right clicking on the task in task bar, and the little window pops up saying:
Restore
Maximize
Minimize
Close,
click on restore while it's still in a small window, it should then maximize, you then close the big window with the red cross at the top right of page, it should then open up maximized next time, I've done it loads of times, it should work, if not post again and I will try to find a solution for you

How very condescending of you, Iam sorry I bothered you with my "basic" advice as you call it, I will look out for you in future and be sure not to offer to help you again, Iam surprised you asked for help when you seem so erudite and not a novice with computers, with your implication that Iam.

well quite honestly the answer you gave me that i replied about last reads as if you telling a child what to do hence my reply.
and if you read my query properly it tells you i know about the min/max all controls,and yes restore could have worked if there had been any probs with the programme that's what its there for
but thanks for trying
