My guess would be that the default window size has been set to something absurdly small. You could try this out (if you are comfortable with registry editting):
Make sure that all your Internet Explorer windows are closed before beginning
Navigate to HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Main

and delete the key: Window_Placement

This should set your window size to the default.
