Windows are extended in full screen

I am running windows 7 Professional with two monitors.  This problem occurs ONLY in the main screen.  When I take the title bar of an internet Explorer or program window and move it OR keep to left click it for more than a few seconds, the program window runs in full screen.  However, it is not maximized.     If I try to resize it to a small window, the only way I can keep it from developing into full screen is to hold the CTRL key and even that does not work all the time.   I know when he's going to develop a mode full screen, because the perimeter of the #1 monitor lights up RED alert me that he will develop...   If I take a window on the #2 screen, the border to the #1 monitor turns BLUE, but since the program window is on the screen 2, nothing happens here.  (Thank God!)

I explored the component feature snap and it does not appear that it is the same thing because you can't move the window back to its original position.

I made so that the option is disabled "to prevent windows from being arranged automatically when you move it to the edge of the screen" in the "ease of access" option of the Control Panel, but I have not been able to find another option anywhere else to cure this.   I seem to be other problems with the operation of computers I've noticed.      The constant uncontrollable expansion of the program or window IE mode full-screen is very frustrating!   This happens with all programs.

Help, please...

Bill

  • Windows do not open full screen mode

    original title: not getting full page

    I turned on my laptop and a small screen.

    I clicked on page on the upper right corner in which made them smaller still.

    How can I get my full screen again?

    According to the page you look at, there are three options.
     
    1: take the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use to expand. 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.
     
    2: any shortcut you use to launch the window, right-click, and select Properties. Under the 'Run' drop-down list, choose "expanded".

  • My computer jumps out of the window active and videos full screen, (youtube/movies on computer)

    My problem is that whenever I'm not moving my mouse, my window random active jumps

    EX: the top on my active windows bar is black, then all of a sudden it wobbles a bit, and all of a sudden his gray, almost it has been disabled as long as the active window. Another example is, if I have Mozilla and spotify open, if you have spotify as active window, the screen jumps and suddenly, spotify is "behind" the mozilla window.

    and as far as movies go, I is not serious if his youtube or movies on my computer I can go full-screen in normal mode, he jumps out of it.

    so my question is how can I fix it, I've already updated everything so there is nothing wrong with my cards

    I thought about it, I suspect me that 1 of my desktop gadgets was perhaps to blame, I had 3 gadgets. Notepad, weather, and a cpu monitor. so I took the time and CPU monitor and now the jumping has stopped for now. I thought I would respond with this answer in case anyone else has this problem so that you can ask them if they have gadgets active which changes every few seconds as my CPU meter does help. I want to thank you for the time you put in to help and I am very pleased with your customer service.

  • CS5 on Windows 7 64 bit full screen color shift

    I am running CS5 on Windows 7 64-bit with a calibrated Eizo monitior.

    When I go full screen mode there is a changing color with the reds change very distinctly.

    Anyone else facing this problem?  All solutions?

    If you see that the problem is solved by turning off OpenGL, this could be a case where the OpenGL activation again and change a setting of different OpenGL "Advanced" mode may help.

    I suggest this because I know that Photoshop color management in many different ways, according to OpenGL capabilities (and possibly the settings, I'm not sure of the part).  Maybe a different mode (for example, 'Basic') will allow you to use OpenGL improvements and always adjust your colors.

    In addition, as it is always recommended, make sure you search video drivers updated on the web site of the manufacturer of your video card.

    Shortly after I installed Windows 10, Restore Down/Full screen minimize and close buttons are gone. I reinstalled FF, but they aren't there yet.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    Hello jamessharmon_3349

    It is designed to run reduced to save resources for other applications that are running at the same time.

    Check your display settings to see if your screen saver is set to activate so that maybe that's why your Windows Media Player minimizes full screen.

    You can use the Task Manager to see what processes running high when WMP is reduced to a minimum. It could be a resource as Antivirus taking over CPU causing WMP decrease its size.

  • Is it possible to do full screen Windows Media Center (native) on a monitor while being able to use the other monitors in a multi-screen configuration?

    Personally, I have a dual monitor situation, and sometimes I would watch television on an all always doing work on the other. If I maximize the Media Center window it will display full-screen on one monitor but it disables all features on the other. The only way for everyone is stretching as it can on the monitor/display without infringing the workspace of the other monitor, but it is ineffective because it does not display the full screen to a native resolution.

    If there is not a current solution for this, then it must be addressed by the engineers of Windows like watch TV on the computer, and multi-monitor configurations are becoming increasingly important in the houses.
    I appreciate the help. Thank you!
    Another Windows user

    After you start your support, press alt + tab to exit the Media Center window. Media Center will stay full screen play the media, and you can use the main screen as usual.

    This works better if Media Center is on the second screen without the taskbar.

    Uncheck the box 4- Activate DirectX acceleration.
