I don?t know what has happened to my Internet Explorer. When I used to click a link, I would get another window to open up of the same size. Now when I click a link, I get a tiny 1 inch menu bar. Just shrink a window to its smallest size with the mouse, and that?s what I get.

This doesn?t happen when I press ?Control N? for a new window. It only happens when I click on a link that opens up in its own new window.

Try Nvnews.net, all of its links open in their own window. Unlike VE3D.IGN.COM which opens up in the same window. The VE3D window is fine for me, but I have to maximize every link on NVNews.

Does anybody know what has happened? It did not used to work this way.

^ For some help or maybe another site that may be able to help me. I have already tried the MS Knowledgebase.

Thanks

Maybe this will work:
Open IE. Resize the window to what you want it to be.
With just one window open, press and hold down Shift, and click on the X to close the window, with Shift still held down.
Hopefully this'll reset IE's default window size.

Or try out my own IE Window size fix. It's a registry patch, and it really shouldn't mess up anything, but just to be safe, back up your registry first.
