Popup windows suddenly automatically resizing

G

Guest

Popup windows in IE 6 have suddenly started automatically resizing to a small square. This happens even when the popup has a preset size. I know this because on my own website an online comic, which opens in a new window, appears in its preset size and then immediately resizes to that small square. If I manually resize the popped window and then hit a link for the next page (same window), the page loads properly but the window resizes to the smaller format. I've done all things one is supposed to do to adjust window size--all the things that are supposed to work and have always worked before--but can't get this to stop happening. Any ideas, anyone?

Bachan,
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.
