IE issue

Noticed last night, when I opened IE, I could see it on my taskbar but was unable to maximize it.

When I click on the taskbar icon, the window flies over to the right quickly, offscreen. I tried rebooting obviously first, no help.

Anyone else ever experience this?


I've tried;

*Adjusting my screen resolution

*Unlocking taskbar, auto-hide taskbar, enlarging the taskbar - in hopes Windows would "remember" parameters, where to the open IE.

That's what you get for surfing pr0n, young man. :naughty:

Seriously, I don't know. My suggestion is to use Firefox.

make sure you dont have your display set to two monitors.

Could be a corrupt registry value. Google for window_placement.reg and your IE version to find a REG file to reset it to default.

I think this may be the same issue.

This man is onto it. I have had this happen before when I went from two monitors to one. The position in the registry for the app is outside the viewable real estate.

Try pressing Alt-Space and then M (or, right click on it in the start bar and choose move, I guess :P ) Then left arrow like mad, since it's over to the right.

Otherwise, dump that junk and switch to Firefox or Safari :)
