Maximized window contaminated

[Jerry]

A few days ago after I clicked on a link, my browser
window started moving around the screen with a happy face
in it and playing a song.I used task manager to close the
application.Now when I open the browser,I have no control
over the window when I have it opened in a maximized
state.It's OK when I restore down.But when I maximize the
window,it only occupies the bottom half of the screen and
I can only see the top half of the window.I tried to move
the window with my cursor but it won't let me.The only
thing I have done so far is I deleted mt temporary
internet files and all my cookies.Does anyone have any
suggestions or know may be causing this?

Jerry,
Reset Browser Window Size:

Close all instances of Internet Explorer except for one.
Right-click on a link in the page and select: "Open in New Window"
Close the first browser window using the [ X ] (upper right corner)
Resize the second browser window manually by dragging the sides to the
desired size.
Note: Do NOT click the Maximize button, you *must* do it manually.
Hold down the Ctrl key and click the Close button (upper right)
Visit another web site, open a link in a new "window", it should now be the
desired size.
Note: some pop-up browser windows will alter this process if that is the
last one closed.
If that occurs again, you now can resolve this problem.

[Exception]
In some cases the "Remember last window size" info becomes corrupted in the
Registry.
