Whenever I try to maximize a window, it does not fill the screen

I'm running a new Dell laptop on Windows 7 and whenever I try to maximize a window (a web browser, for a folder of files, etc.), display is not going to the top of the screen and there is a 'gap' where I can see my desktop.  Changing the resolution did not help, nor has using the extension/retraction button in the upper right of the browser. Any idea on how I can do this deficiency disappear and displays her fill the entire screen?

Hello

I suggest you perform a clean boot and check if that helps, by following the link:

Note: Refer to, step 7 'reset the computer to start as usual', after the clean boot is performed.

I hope this helps.

  • Program BACK in Guest XP on Windows 7 does not fill the screen

    Hello world

    I have a quite unique due to many circumstances situation and several months of research to get to a decent workaround.

    I have a tool written in Basic for MS-DOS. I need to use this tool and the interface with the files created in Windows 7. VMWare Player with no very good support for sharing files between DOS with Windows 7 clients, I have opted for a guest of Windows XP on my computer Windows 7 host and who go through the program. In this way, I can share files between XP and 7 and run the program correctly in the XP VM. Note that this program doesn't work at all on Windows 7 due to some problems graphics driver, hence the need for such a solution.

    When I run the XP VM, it is able to match the resolution as expected. However, when I open the program BACK, he is not full screen as it does on a native XP machine or even a VM XP in VMWare Fusion on a Mac. Is there a way to force it to fill the screen? The graphics full screen are vital for visibility - I can barely see anything on the screen of dinky little 640 x 480 without blowing up to its maximum potential.

    I tried several other options, including a Windows VM (I'm under Windows 7 Enterprise) and DOSBOX. Windows VM has the same problem resolution in addition to requiring the integration of features enabled to share files and requiring the same integration disabled features in order to run the program and the DOSBOX not full screen but the performance is much too slow to be practical (it is similar to take 2 minutes to scroll through a web page that is several pages a notch long) even at maximum settings.

    Please no suggestions ' do you have the printer "-I am part of a team of average size on how it works and it's pretty much the last roadblock after several months of work. We probably tried everything which is immediately obvious, including the recompilation of the source code for the program BACK (that we had to do anyway to remove a lock imposed by a society that no longer exists).

    The closest that I have is to reduce the resolution of the host Windows 7 in 800 x 600, which makes the VM a bit larger but still not quite full screen. I try to activate the VGA 640 x 480 mode, I guess? Even in this case, however, the need for constantly changing screen resolutions makes this solution less than ideal.

    Thank you for all the suggestions/help.

    Do I understand correctly:

    -It is an application with a fixed resolution of 640 x 480 fullscreen

    -You want that he developed the scale to fit to your screen

    As far as I KNOW, VMware Player is not just what to do.

    There is a tutorial in the section documents for a workaround (using the changer display to automatically change the resolution of the host).

  • Windows XP does not install the automatic updates.

    Everything works OK.

    Thanks for your help

    Everything works OK.

    It seems that it is not... Why Dutch? You use or have the corresponding language version installed?

    Free translation of message:

    "An error occurred during the copy of the file ntoskrnl.exe

    Please note that ntoskrnl.exe is a process in the cycle of the initial startup on your computer program.

    Try to load your "last known good configuration".

    The issue is also known to be caused by a short circuit in the ground cable into the keyboard cable. Make sure that it is not the cause of your error by replacing the keyboard with another keyboard or just disconnect the keyboard from the computer. You can also look at your function "Add or remove programs" If KB2686509 <> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2686509 > is installed.  Install manually if it is not.

    I use a database program in a number of previous versions of windows and windows 7 does not allow the program to launch denial of service.  What gives?

    If you have Windows 7 64 bit without BACK program can run because there is no 16-bit subsystem to run it.

    Try dosbox http://www.dosbox.com/. If that won't work your program, you'll need either a new database or run the BACK or on a 32-bit version of Windows in a virtual machine like VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/.

  • Windows 7 does not open the windows in the taskbar. The content seems to be displayed off the screen

    Windows 7 does not open the windows in the taskbar. The content seems to be displayed off the screen. It started after the uninstall of Registry Mechanic and PC Tools, but this cannot be bound. IE 9 seems to be particularly affected. So do not display all of the windows that show on the taskbar.

    Use the Windows logo key & left arrow several times for each windows application through their positions until they appear on the screen.

    This problem is normally reported after someone used an external monitor as the applications try to open in the same position they had when they were last open - so if there was an external monitor last time now disconnected, they will try to open it in the middle of nowhere.

    I know not, or the other tools that you mention, but if they are registry cleaners then they could also affect other parts of your system.

    Original title: Signature Collision?

    I'm having hard to the installation of a second external drive. I use Windows 7 Ultimate RC. There was a WD 1 TB drive My Book already installed - healthy and works very well. The problem occurred after installing a second WD 1 TB my book reader. I followed all the instructions, pluuging the drive to a USB hub. Windows found the disk, installed drivers and reported the new drive ready for use.

    Windows Explorer does not see the new drive. Devices and printers shows 2 external drives from WD. Disk Management shows as 2 drives, but the second disk is offline because of a 'Signature' Collision

    Each player works very well if it's the only drive plugged in. "Eject My Book" does not work because a program (or more) are to use the player in the background (Windows or Norton).

    I installed the latest firmware and I'm still having this problem. I've been emailing WD with this problem and they are running out of ideas.

    Can anyone help?

  • Install Windows 8 does not recognize the system drive

    I built a new machine (chart below). Since this is a new machine and not an upgrade, I bought Win 8 Pro 64 bit OEM to do a clean install. The SSD is my system disk that Windows 8 will be installed. Four data drives are mirrored, two for the other two. Construction went perfectly. The BIOS recognizes all six disks: 1 SSD, 4 HDD, 1 DVD.

    Insert and boot the disk of Windows 8. Accept the EULA, enter the product key. Arriving at the page "Where do you want to install Windows?", only four hard disks are listed. The SSD (installation to go) is not found by Win 8. ??? I tried to change ports SATA, cables, power supply - no difference. For each new change of hardware, the BIOS still sees everything. This isn't a hardware problem.

    The question remains: why the installation of Windows 8 does not recognize the SSD drive. All five disks are on AHCI. I'm not in RAID.

    I spoke with crucial technical support of all (manufacturer of the SSD). They were also surprised that the drive does not appear in the list.

    Does anyone have a solution? I spent all the money on hardware, as well as the new version of Windows and I cannot install it.

    This is the real kick in the teeth: Microsoft won't support me. The OEM of Windows 8 version is the same as manufacturers, such as Dell or HP. Support told me I had the support of the manufacturer. HA! I am the manufacturer. Either that or upgrade from an earlier version of Windows. This means that any that a new construction machine will get ZERO assumption of Microsoft. All just great.

    Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    Windows 8 Pro 64-bit (full version) - OEM
