Browser window will not maximize

[RichZ]

Suddenly, my IE window will not maximize to cover all of
my desktop, when clicking the maximize button. Top 1/2
inch or so of desktop is visible. Of course I can click
on the restore button then drag the window to cover the
whole desktop, or select tile horizontally on the task bar
with one window open to increase size to cover the
desktop, but this does not solve the problem of IE not
maximizing. Every other program maximizes correctly. Any
ideas on how to fix this? Already tried both repair and
reinstall of IE 6 sp1, with no luck. Am running windows 98
SE, which has been otherwise running flawlessly. I
suspect a popup window may have caused this, though I have
no idea how to fix. Appreciate any help...thanks.

Rich,
Try:
With only the affected window open (and the taskbar NOT set to autohide)
grab the top of the taskbar and pull it up to 2 or 3 times its normal
height. Then close the window, resize the taskbar, reopen the window.
Or
With only that window open, right click the taskbar and choose "tile
vertically" (horizontally should also work.)
Or (a registry edit)
