Minesweeper will not maximize

I can not Minesweeper to maximize to full screen. When I first bought my new Minesweeper computer going fullscreen. After that I used the easy transfer cable to get my data from my old computer that is no longer running full screen. I tried to turn it off and then back on turning on or off under programs and features, restart my computer after each step. No one knows how to get it to run full screen.
Thanks, Jim

Jim,

Have you tried to maximize the Minesweeper by clicking the expand next to the close button?  If this is not the case, try this and then let us know if it won't always full-screen.

  • Firefox shows upwards on the taskbar but will not maximize when clicking on window

    I tried re installation, but when I click the icon it will appear on the taskbar but will not maximize.

    It is a more detailed explanation of the above.

    Sometimes, a window is "off the screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

    A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt.

    #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

    Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

    Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the search for the start bar menu (or Windows 8.1 may bar charms bar research?) type or paste the following and press ENTER to drill down to the profiles folder:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

    Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

  • Opening in maximum size program will not work

    I was unable to get a program (ok - it's FreeCell) to maximize.  I tried this dimensioning of the taskbar using the arrow keys on the keyboard instead of the mouse.  He fills the screen from top to bottom, but not more than straight left.  It freezes and will not larger size by about a third of the width of the screen/monitor (with a computer 17 "laptop).  I went to the properties of the start icon and run selected enlarged (did not work) reduced to a minimum (of work); tried again, but the program will not stretch or size Full.  In a small size, you can move the window of the program anywhere on the screen, but it will not maximize from anywhere to full size.

    Thanks for the help!

  • game will not be resolved in full screen.

    am running windows Vista and had an old version of scrabble.   All of a sudden it will not maximize the full screen.   You press on maximizing and there still about 1.5 inches on all sides.   I played with all the properties, screen resolutions, but I can't get it to work.   I bought a new Scrabble updated and it's doing the same thing. All other games seem to be good.    It is much too small for my mother who plays to see.

  • Open windows do not maximize to desktop

    I have a Windows 7 problem that when I have a few windows open for different programs minimized on the task bar and I'm trying to maximize their even once, they will not maximize.  Sometimes they seem to maximize on the right side of the desktop, and sometimes they will not maximize to all.  I have to close the program, and then reopen it.  When it happens in Internet Explorer I get extended again if I click with the right button on the icon in the taskbar and select open a new tab.  Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    To disable Aero snap:

    1. click on Start.
    2. in the search box, type snap .
    3. When Disable automatic window setting appears, click it.
    4. check the [] next to prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen.

    I am not convinced that this will solve your problem, but keep the fingers crossed.

    Can you be more specific on what you're trying to do, exactly?  In re-reading your original post, I wonder if you do not use the term "Enlarged" as expected.

    Normally, when a window is on the screen and does not cover the entire screen, which is regarded as a windowed mode normal, sometimes called "restored".  Expanded", however, is when the window covers the entire screen.

    Do you mean a window restores off the screen?  If so, it may be that the coordinates of the window have been stored correctly (I've seen that happen before).  There is a way to "get in" on these windows and move them back to the screen.  To do this, try this:

    1. restore the window you want to see (for example, by clicking on it in the taskbar).
    2. press these keys: hold down the Alt key and press the space bar once.
    3. press the button M (for 'move').
    4. now, move your mouse.  You should see a slider 4 positions.
    5. now press on of the arrow keys on your keyboard and you will find you have hold of the window and you can move it where you want.
    6. close the window and he should remember where you left it for the next time.

    FYI, you can also access other features of handling of window by holding down the SHIFT key when you click on a button of the taskbar.

    Good luck.

  • The middle in the top right button will not reduce the size of the mailbox

    Try to reduce the size of the area of content in an e-mail message.  When you use the middle button in the upper right corner, it will not change.  He remains in the configuration contents of full page.

    Any window that you want to resize all the time must be the last closed window.

    Take the corners of the window and drag it to the desired size. Do not use to maximize or restore down. Close all other windows first via the taskbar and the latter. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.

  • File dialog will not open

    Recently, I tried to add an attachment to an email from Yahoo in Firefox. When I need to click on "Attach files", the bar at the top of my window of Firefox (where him minimize, maximize, and close buttons are) flash and nothing would happen. No file dialog opens. I tried my school Zimbra account. No attachment dialog.

    I've tried Chrome. The same problem.

    (I find earlier that Internet Explorer has allowed me to attach a file by using the same e-mail Yahoo account.) But I think that the type of file that is called in IE browser is different...)

    Anyway, I gave up and did something else on my computer. When I would try to open a file in some programs, the dialogue which should open for me to select a file from my system will not be open.

    For example, when I open 7zip and select ' File/open', nothing happens (sometimes at the edge of the window begins to blink). Same thing happens in Jnes, WinRAR, OpenOffice and Adobe Reader, among others. Or if I install something and you try to select the path by clicking on 'Browse', nothing happens.

    But then programs like Paint.NET, Reaper and above Internet Explorer open a file dialog to select a file to open.

    I tried to remedy this by installing the latest version of Java, but Data Execution Prevention kept stopping. Since I got him to "AlwaysOff" via the command prompt. Turn off DEP enabled me to install Java, but does not solve my problem of dialog box.

    What else could be wrong?

    I did a restore of the system to a point before that my problem started. the problem may be due to an add-on for firefox which put bookmarks on multiple lines, but that is only a guess.

  • Messages will not open since macOS installation Sierra

    Hey all!

    I'm on a 2015 13 "Macbook Pro, only had it for a few months and have had no problems with it." Since the update, my Messages app will not work. Always worked well in the past, attempted to restart remove them the dock and everything but it wont open. Sometimes it loads a blank slate, but when I try to send a message it freezes and that he never sends. Every now and then, hours after the fact, I might have a new notification text top-right, but I am unable to open it.

    Safe Mode boot deletes some caches system that can help you and to update.

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.
