Hi, all, I have installed a new 'acer' 23" monitor which I have set at 1024x768 as this is the optimum for my eyesight/easy usage.Is there a way I can get my PC to display all sites in full screen without having to click 'maximise' ?. OE & Int, Exp./ Firefox automatically go to full screen, but when I click links in them I then have to 'maximise' which is a bit of a bind. This PC 'dinosaur' would appreciate your assistance

The first thing I would say is that, for the best quality picture, you should set your resolution to match the native resolution of the monitor. If you then find that things are too small, on the resolution tab, click the advanced button and adjust the DPI setting - try it first on 120, and if that doesn't suit, select a custom setting.

For your problem, try this:
Open OE.
Click the Restore button (so that it's NOT maximized)
Drag the non-maximized window to the top left of your screen.
Place the cursor in the bottom-right corner (so that the diagonal double-headed arrow appears) and drag it to the full size of the screen.
Close the window.

You should find that in future it opens to the correct size.

Thanks, rojash, OE now operating as you directed.
Thanks CF have turned off 'show preview'. Each time I learn a little bit more, might make the 21st century yet!
