hi this is such a ridiculous question but alas i am poor with computers. when i open a new window in internet explorer the page now appears very small as a box rather than a whole page. any idea how i can rectify this? this only occurred today.

regards and thanks

make it bigger then close the window, eventually windows will remember the size it should be

does not seem to work, any other ideas?

close all your IE windows. when you click on the internet explorer icon the first window you see is small. Press control + N and a new small window will open. close both of these windows. Open internet explorer again and wait for your homepage to fully load now maximize that window and close it. Open Internet explorer again and now it should be full screen. now whenever you open a new window it should be full screen. This worked for me. give it a try.
