Houston, I have a problem: Maybe by coincidence, and maybe not, but after I signed up for OneTel. unlimited access plan two days ago, downloaded and installed the dialup utility, when I click on a link which starts up a new instance of IE V5.5, the new window (or lack of it) is only the title bar, about 2 inches long with the min, max and close buttons - no part of the window displayed at all. I can click the max button and all is well - but this happens for EVERY link which opens a new version of IE. IE opens perfectly alright if launched from the normal icon. Have checked in IE properties, advanced, can't see anything in there, but clicked the Restore Defaults button anyway - no joy. I have uninstalled the OneTel utility but this of course hasn't solved the problem and OneTel help line say they don't know about this problem and it isn't because of their utility. Rather odd, have been using this machine for nearly two years and no problems with IE until immediately after OneTel involvement. I am running Win 98 SE. Using OE for Newsgroups and Outlook 2000 for email. Please can anyone shed any light how to fix this, especially if you have seen the prob before. Don't want to have to uninstall IE and start again. Many thanks in advance and apologies for X-Posting if you happen to read the NGs that I have put this in - but hoping for an answer from someone soon. Many thanks act@onetel.net.uk or sennowe@hotmail.com

I think if you hold down the shift key when you close a window, future windows will open at that size. -- Gareth "Smudger" <matt@NOSPAMuzzellk.freeserve.co.uk> wrote in message news:9n86da$vst$1@news5.svr.pol.co.uk... > umm.. this may sound stupid... but why not just get IE6... might sort it out > :) > > -- > Matt > ------- > By using this email address for Unsolicited email, spam or adding to mailing > lists/re-sale - you agree to enter into a contract with me whereby you send > the client 100 Pounds Sterling for each use of the address. > Use of this address will be confirmation of your binding to the said terms > and agreements which have NO limitations on the part of the client.

Internet Explorer remembers last used window positions so this might be whats happened. Try stretching fromt he bottom-right corner (I presume it allows you to move it with the arrow thing?) and make it whatever size things usually open like then maximise it then restore it, try that twice for luck, now minimise it then restore it, again twice for luck. I don't know how many times you have to change it to a certain size before it will remember that you like that size and set it as the default opening size but try that anyway cause it works for me when Im trying to get windows to open at a certain size after tiling them in the screen. :-) Hope this completely untechnical thingy helps

Thank you for all those replies, dragging the window only alters the size to which it is restored by clicking the restore button and yes that size is remembered, but it ISN'T maximised, i.e. when you point the mouse at the middle of the buttons on the top right the postie pops up with either minimise or maximise. Minimise will take a window to its previously dragged size and maximise, as we all know is just that - can't get any bigger for the size of display. I have also tried 'repair' in add remove programs that didn't solve it either.

I am a first class pillock, in previous posting I meant *restore* not minimise - the windows are either minimised, restored to dragged size or maximised.
