WinXP Home
Today I was demonstrating the WinXP Home Accessibility Magnifier
feature to a friend – I don’t use it and never have.
One of the features of the “Magnifier was initially to open a small
slice of the magnified screen at the top of the monitor
After finishing, and (I thought) leaving the Accessibility options all
turned off, I noted that subsequently, each time I started up IE7 it
opened up in a similar narrow window which is full screen width, but
about one inch in height. I can manually click it to full size the
normal way.
In the past, when faced with a small opening IE or other program
display, I've manually dragged it to full size, then Shift Clicked the
X box in the URH corner to close IE7. Reopening it then restores
normal size. But now that technique didn’t work.
Since it was about time, I downloaded and installed IE8
Imagine my surprise when the problem continued FWIW the problem is
limited to IE7/8. Excel, Word, etc.. open normally. I'm sure the
problem is somehow related to the accessibility magnifier.
Please advise.
