    Re: How to get full screen and

    Mike, I have narrowed down my problems to the following:

    1. When I come on line and open my first window, it now is only about 1/2 inch from the bottom once I
    pull it down, it stays there and all that follows are full screen. I can live with that.

    2. When I go away from the puter long enough for it to go screen saver and if I stay away a while longer
    it goes black screen and I am not able to move the mouse or hit the keyboard to revive it. When I hit
    the power button, it comes back but with the "tray" expanded very wide. It gives a "Auto Screen Adjust"
    message. The only way to get everything back in sync is to turn off.

    This is the best I can describe, what is happening. I have udated everything. Audio Video etc.

    I just have never seen a computer where the Maximize button doesn't work.

    I don't have any more ideas, I can not find anyone else who can not get the Maximize button to work under a normal one monitor setup on a PC.

    I just plain don't know what could be causing this.

    I'm guessing that it is something about the configuration of your computer, it may eventually get resolved in normal use, I've had it happen.

    Good luck, if I run across anything I'll come back and post.

    Mike

    Could you clarify this:

    1. Display/Monitor native resolution
    2. Current resolution in your desktop
    3. Video card model

    Press "PrintScreen" - if don't have this button then use virtual keyboard to click "PrintScreen". Open up MS Paint -> Paste the screenshot -> Save as .jpg. Attach the screenshot with your next post.

    I think I have finally put these problems to bed. The Full Screen problem is working just fine, I have my fingers crossed when I
    say that.

    After searching all over the place, I finally found a box that said "Auto Image Adjust". Unchecking it and again crossing my fingers this
    may be the cure.

    Bottom line everything is working, for how long your guess is as good as mine.

    Thanks for all the help and I hope I will be able to help someone on here one day. "I will be back" as Arnold said.

    Well, the dreaded "Auto Image Adjust" just popped up again. I unchecked it and all was well for almost a day. Time to call the
    people and get some "Free Technical Help" before taking it back where I bought it.

    Re: How to get full screen and

    Hi

    I'm posting this here because it is the only way I can get into Windows7 Forums!

    For some reason I can not get into the forum in the normal way.
    I have had problems for the last 24 hours and occasionally in the days before that.

    No matter how I try and access the forum I get the can not connect message.
    I have tried with Goggle Chrome (where I am now) Internet Explorer and Firefox with the same results.

    In Internet Explorer it gives me the "This web site may be down" message.

    I got in here with a link from my e-mail.
    I have run a search and tried to start with a new link instead of the one I always use with the same result.

    If I try and go from here by clicking on the link at the top of the message to go to the root page it will not go.

    All other web sites are opening normally.

    Am I the only one or is this a problem that everyone is experiencing now.

    Now I'm going to try and post this and see if it goes through.

    Well this worked so I have hit edit and come back.

    Mike

    Hi Wilhelm

    Do you have a ViewSonic monitor?

    The only references to Auto Image Adjust had to do with ViewSonic.
    The general opinion was that it is better to leave it turned off.

    But I did find people who were having it cause problems, like the windows not aligning, being the wrong size etc.

    If that's the problem maybe you could get them to give you a different monitor or if you have access to another monitor try it and see if the problem goes away.

    Mike

    Hi Mike

    Yes it is a Viewsonic monitor. Finally figured it was the monitor or the vidio circuit to the monitor. It would work for a short time
    and then it would lose sync. No longer own the Win7 puter, I got very disgusted and returned it. No doubt the monitor or interface
    were not getting along. Downloaded the latest Monitor Upgrade and that did not help.

    It is good to see that Win7 Forum has gotten their problem solved, was easy to get in today.

    Thanks for working the problem with me. Not sure we can call it solved, more like done with.
