I have a Fujitsu TabletPC running a current version of Windows XP for Tablet. I have not installed SP2 Beta. While I was still learning to use the stylus, I would periodically inadvertently charge settings, but I could normally restore them, sometimes by trial and error. Somewhere along the line, in portrait mode, I managed to reduce the width of new windows to about an inch wide. I can always tap the "full window" button on the title bar, but I can't seem to get the window to pop up (initially) with a reasonable width.

Can someone tell me how to correct this setting? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Steve,

Move your cursor to a corner of the window. It should change to a double
arrow. Left click and drag until the window is the size you want. Then
click the red X in the top right of the window to close it. When you reopen
another window in that program, it should open in that size.

If it doesn't, you can hold the control key when you close the window
after you have it sized as you like it. That's supposed to set in
memory that size as the default open if it doesn't take it just by
closing it as Terri suggested. However, the control + close to save
the window size doesn't always work - one of the fun little
inconsistencies of Windows. :D

....I tried this early on. It didn't work. But thanks for the suggestion...

Double-click the Title Bar on the window. It should open to full screen,
and from there you can adjust the size.

Are you saying that ALL new windows for ALL programs open at only one
inch wide or just certain ones?

Chris, Thanks for the suggestion, but see my next posting, below...

Grant, thanks for asking this question; it caused me to think a minute and then do some investigating. It turned out that this was NOT a Windows problem. I use my browser a lot, and it was an AOL problem! Once I figured that out, I was able to find an AOL properties box that controlled new windows. Problem solved!

Thanks to all for your help!

Had to wait for the post to arrive, Steve. This isn't a forum where the
messages get posted immediately. Good that you figured it out.
