here's the problem. got AOL's IM program installed. when the program opens, it opens FULL screen (did not used to do that, used to just open a small box). but when i try and minimize, it shrinks all the way to the task bar. it will NO LONGER minimize and insists on being full screen when it's "open".
any suggestions? not a worry... just a questin i thought i'd pose.
and NO,i don't use AOL !!! dumped them a while ago ;)

Not sure if this will help but when the browser windows is open, place you mouse over the Title Bar right above the left side where is says File and "RIGHT" click on your mouse. Then when the pop-up window opens click on restore. Ciao and good luck for now

Click on the little square in the upper right of the screen. Sometimes there are two little squares there that are overlapped. When there are two that is a full screen. When there is only one you can place the cursor at any corner of the window and a double arrow will appear. When that happens hold the mouse button down and drag toward the center of the screen until it gets the size you want and release the button.
