Windows XP forum: SCREEN NOT FULL SIZE WHEN GOING TO NEXT SCREEN

Mozilla does this trick with ease. You should try that and Firefox to see which one you like.

In closing, I'm guessing you are complaing about that missing feature in Internet Explorer.

I can't download Firefox...I get an error message every time..and the same applies to Internet Explorer. I use Gmail all the time (and yahoo) and have problems with not getting full screens. So I have to click on maximize screen all the time. I use Chrome. What do I do with Chrome to solve my screen maximization problems. Or is it something else?

Thanks for your help.

I have Windows 7 64 bit Home superior (or something like that). Avira anti-virus.

noru2, Follow the instructions below exactly and your problem should be solved.
Right click the shortcut icon for IE next to the Start button, choose Properties, change it from 'normal' to 'maximized'. Now open it.
Now right click any link on the page, choose Open In New Window....don't maximize it....instead, use the mouse to resize it to what you want it to be.
Now close the FIRST window you opened, and then close the new one you just resized.

Reopen IE from the shortcut icon again, and all windows from now on will be the size you chose and created.
