Windows 7 - Aero Snap problem

I am having a minor trouble with the Aero snap feature. When using certain applications (Word, Skype) I am able to maximize the window by dragging the window to the top - but I am not able to restore it by dragging it down, it stays put. I have to hit the restore button on the top right corner everytime I have to restore the window to the original size or if I want to snap it to one of the sides.

Anyone has faced this before ?

Just tried this a few times with Word and it works fine, but i'm using 2010, can't confirm if 2007 has an issue.

its not just with word, even a few other apps (like skype) have this issue. is there a control panel setting that i can use to turn off and then turn on the aero snap feature ?

Ezhilk, I tried this with Skype and can confirm what you said. Here's a tutorial to show how to turn Aero Snap on or off. Tried that, didn't fix the issue.

It seems it is rather a Skype than Windows issue.

P.S. Welcome to the SevenForums!

Thanks Kari. You are right, turning off the snap doesn't help at all.

And this problem happened only after I did a clean installation of 7. Previously, I upgraded from Vista and the snap feature worked flawlessly. I thought a clean install will improve the performance.

I have upgraded Seven Ultimate from Vista but Snap still not working with Skype.

an update for MS Office fixed the issue with Word, although the problem with skype remains. So I guess its an application issue rather than the OS, as you mentioned.

i have the same problem but it's with all my windows, including explorer, firefox...

is there something i can do? im using win 7 ultimate 32bit on a dual screen display. what i do not understand is that when i switch to my projector (single screen) it works fine. so it may have something to do with my dual screen setup.

i solved my problem. if you are using ultramon, go to options -> general tab and uncheck "enable moving of maximized windows using the mouse" this will allow windows 7 to deal with this feature and ultramon and Windows 7 won't interfere with each other.



as for skype, i thought it was not working but to solve that just go to tools-> options -> general settings and change the visual style of the window to classic windows

interestingly enough though it is not working with MS word.

Hope this helps

thanks that helped me with skype but i too am having the same problems with word and excel and probably the other office programs (havent tried them all). I am using ultramon but the settings in there were already set to "enable moving of maximized window...."
