    YIM 10 Window resizing on its own


    Lately when I close a chat window in Y! Messenger (a window that is either maximized or manually stretched to fit the size of my computer screen) and either open a new one or a contact IMs me, the window will go from the size I made it to a 2 inch by 2 inch (roughly) square in the top left corner of my screen.

    I have tried running it in Compatibility mode for XP and Vista (in several service packs) and out. I am running it as admin. I have gone into the properties and changed the "Run" category from normal window to maximized. I have gone back and forth between those, applied the changes. I have tried CTRL+click and drag. None of this has done any good.


    Yes, I have contacted Yahoo! about this but I am not about to hold my breath as they have never been any help to me in the past. I'm still waiting for them to fix issues they claim to know about and claim that they are fixing from over a year ago.


    So, folks... can any one help??

    Not the best answer, but have you tried Pidgin? It's open source and will work with MSN, Google Talk, Yahoo, AIM and other chat networks all at once.

    No, I havent... but I will keep that in mind if I get totally fed up with YIM, which is about ready to happen. Its just that I'm also very stubborn and I'm comfortable with YIM and I hate having to learn all the ins and outs of a new IM system, plus there are features of YIM that I really do like, so I'd like to try and fix this if its at all possible.

Sorry, couldn't think of a better title. Anyway, this isn't too important to me, but I would be interested as to why this happens. I have a monitor with a resolution of 1280x1024 (can't go bigger) and when I first boot my computer, I can make a program's usable space (inside the borders) be...
Window resizing is not real-time

As per the title (View screenshot)... For some weird reason whenever i resized windows, it's not realtime anymore. I don't remember changing any settings or whatsoever. I have searched really hard to find a solution, none so far. Kindly help! :cry: http://i.imgur.com/te19Y.png
This is probably a simple thing to do, but maybe I missed it. I have two monitors, each with a large screen. I often move a window from one to the other. If I place it near the top of the screen, Windows happily expands it to fill the whole screen, something I'd rather not have happen. How...

Hi everybody sorry if that has been posted before :( Simple question really is there a F button or some other combination that will open a window to it's maximum viewing size? I am so fed up of stretching it wide with the mouse :( TIA :) Steve
