Resolution changes ?????

Another XP weirdo.
I have my display set at 1024x768 which I have used for quite some time.

Now when I open My Yahoo page, it displays at 800x600 as do some but not all website forum pages.

I just reformatted my HD two weeks ago and all was fine until yesterday.

Should I pull the ripcord now or stay in the plane.

Thanks for your help

Jim B.

Drag the small window to fill the screen, and maximize it. Then, hold shift and click close. That should save your full screen settings.

It's in full screen that I have the problem.
Opening minimized is a different issue.

thanks

Any other ideas folks,

Excite home page opens at 1024x768
Yahoo page opens at 800x600

Display is set at 1024x768

Thanks again

Are the pages opening in different browsers?

Excite is my default I.E. 6.0 home page and opens in 1024x768

I open Yahoo from an Icon on my desktop and it used to also be 1024x768. The last few days it has been 800x600.

One of the web pages I visit opens at the higher res. but the forum now opens and the lower res.

Very strange behavor. I am confused. All were the same res last week.

I must have inadvertantly changed something and I have no idea what.

Any suggestions will be tried.

Thanks

Can you post a screenshot of when you get the 800x600 window?
