when i open ie7 it opens full screen which is good, but when i click a link
inside ie7 it always opens about half the size of the screen. how to i set
subsequent ie7 windows to open full size?

First, *close all other windows*. Now, grab the corners of the window you
just opened and drag it to full screen size. Close the window using File |
Close, or File | Exit depending what program you're in. Windows will
remember the last screen size used the next time you open the program.

After an update yesterday, some of my screens on the internet are not full
size now. Most have a 3" margin on each side. Is this also what you are
experiencing?

IE version?
Windows version?

Many Internet sites are hardcoded to a certain width and if your window is
wider it won't use the whole width.

I am using IE7. Everything worked fine yesterday. Now when playing on line
games, the screen is not as large as it was yesterday. Also when viewing web
pages I was on before, they do not fill the screen like they did prior. Some
may be in the center and some are off to the far left. It is driving me crazy!

I just go my new computer and it was working fine until this update cam in.
Now my pages are not wide screen and the front is really small. A tech told
me that the service pack will fix the problem when it comes out. Does any
know when that is?
