    Window won't maximize fully


    Hey Guys, so I just got a new Dell Inspiron 620 with Windows 7 64bit and I'm loving it so far. However, after I rebooted it, when I maximized a window (any window), it doesn't maximize to the top of the screen. Now I first thought that I had to adjust my monitor settings, but you can still see the background wallpaper where it is not maximizing. I know this may sound a bit confusing so I included a picture of a problem to clear things up. While it only affects my computer visually, I know that it is not suppose to happen so it is bugging me a lot. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Here is the picture. (see how the window doesn't maximize to the top of the screen?) and it WAS normal before. I am on a 1900x1080 monitor.

    It looks like your Aero theme isn't displaying correctly. I would suggest either changing the theme and then changing back, or running a System File Check.

    Tried changing the themes, but the problem persisted on every theme (even when I changed it back and forth). When I did the system file check, it said everything was good. So it didn't work

    This looks much like the problem discussed here:

    You tried changing the hertz, as suggested at the end?

    My monitor (viewsonic VX2433wm 1080p) doesn't give me to option to change the hertz nor does it when I go into NVIDIA Control Panel.

    Right click on the desktop, select "screen resolution" click the "advanced" button and select the "monitor" tab. There you can change the resolution. :)

    The only other option it gives me is 59hz. I tried it and it didn't work.

    >>>> it WAS normal before.

    If you can remember that date when " it was normal ", use it as your restore point and run a system restore :

In Vista when we maximized a window, both taskbar and window turn black. I think that effect is great idea because the user is focus in window content information. But with 7 nothing happen.... I do not understand. is a bug???
