XP home SP3.
Internet Explorer 8.
Always full screen, does not make any difference full or not.
I think it is a common problem as i have found several entries on searching but no fix.

What monitor resolution are you using?

Is the situation New - and if so - when did it start and did you make any changes to the pc?

Do you see the same Quick Ad stuff on the right like the attached pic?

Thanks EzyStvy, You hit the nail on the head, i was using 800x600. Changed it to a higher resolution now Hotmail message space a lot bigger and workable. It must of happened when i fitted a new monitor last year. I have been living with the problem but i thought it time to get to the bottom of it. As for your question yes i did get the panel at the right.
