    small window


    When I open lets say this forum, it opens as a small page. How do I get it to open as a full page?

    Hello Dwhiskie,

    If you mean in Internet Explorer, then you can press F11 to have it full screen. You can also drag the window borders to how large you want the window, or press the square button to the left of the red close window button at the top right corner, or double click on the window title bar to maximize the window.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    Yeah I know I can do that but I shouldnt have to. The windows should open at full screen.

    It seems only this web page is opening at a small screen. must be something with my settings?

    nevermind sometimes they open full screen sometimes they dont? humm...

    They should open the same size as the last window that was closed. Are you opening links in new tabs or new IE8 windows?

    Try maximizing the current IE8 window (not F11), close it, then use the Yahoo shortcut to see if it opens IE8 maximized instead.

    The x in the upper right is actually a short cut, try closing a max window with the exit in file on the upper left.
