happening.

on start up I get a full screen home page, but every page after this is
only half page & I mean half, it`s on the left hand side, not in the
middle, but when I click the full screen at top right hand corner it
opens up to full screen, no problem. It`s just a pain to have to open
up every page you want.17"tft with xp home, any help, many thanks

Try stretching the page to fit the screen using the horizontal and vertical
resize buttons and then click refresh, it works for me.

If you are using IE. Open IE.
Press Shift and click a link to force it to open in a seperate window.
Press Alt & Tab to return to the first window.
Close it leaving open only the small window.
Drag the window edges to make it full screen.
Close the resized window.
All windows should open full screen now.

There are two things at work here. First, back in the early days of IE, if
you had it set to open maximized, it opened all subsequent windows full
screen. Corporate America complained that they had users that would get
multiple IE windows opened at the same time and never realized it. With
Windows 98/Me, this eventually resulted in the dreaded crash from lack of
resources. Thus MS opted to modify IE to open subsequent pages in less than
full screen so it was obvious to the user that he/she had multiple IE
windows open. Of course the flaw in this logic is that a user that can't
tell from the task bar that there are multiple IE windows open probably
won't notice the smaller screen over the larger screen either. <VBG>
Shattuck's Law: "For every condition a programmer can code to prevent a user
from screwing up, an 'inspired bungler' otherwise known as a user, can think
of two more ways to mess up."
The second factor is that IE remembers the size of the previous non-full
screen IE window and opens the next one the same size. As several people
have suggested, stretching a IE window to fill the screen and then exiting
or refreshing will reset the last open page size to what you want.
Now the catch22. If you visit a site that pops up a small fixed screen from
a link, it resets the last page size and you have to repeat the step above.
Thus there is no perfect or permanent solution unless there is a third-party
program to fix it.
