Title: Verry Annoying Windows Shoot off Screen
Post by: ZealEmpire on June 16, 2006, 03:28:28 PM

This is a problem that seems to happen to me more frequently as days go on.  Sometimes when I try to open a folder or even a program such as lime wire the entire thing will maximize off the screen.  Sometimes if im lucky and I close and re open it will place it self correctly...but thats rare...

What are you using for malware proteccttion? P2P is a great way to get a lot of things you probably don't want.

I use adware and all it usually picks up is simple cookies.  I also scan with norton once a week.

Actually come to think of it...This started right when I accidently set active desktop when saving a photo from a website.  And I was never able to figure out a way to get rid of that.  The icons on my desktop seem to have a blue box around what they say...if that helps any.

Can you do a system restore to a time before you did this? Is it similar to this?
