IE won't maximize! Please help!

[zel1]

When Im browsing and I have the page maximized it doesn't
fill up the whole screen. It stays aboyut an inch from
the top. I cant drag or move the window either. What
could the problem be and is there a default setting that
I can look for.

Remove any 'Auto-hide' option for the Windows taskbar and while the window
is maximized, resize the taskbar then return it to the desired size. This is
to try to make Windows re-calculate the window size and boundaries.

If no joy, run regedit and remove these registry key values:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\window_placement

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Desktop\OldWorkAreas\OldWorkAreaRects

Then reboot.
