When a new window appears (the pop-up kind without an
address bar), the window is not large enough to view or
work in. There are no scroll bars and I cannot drag the
window to enlarge either.This also happens on some pages
when I have to use a drop down menu and only half of an
option appears (ex: "About U" and it is supposed to
say "About Us") I have gone into the Tools>Internet
Options>Advanced and checked those settings, but nothing
changed with that. I checked the View>Text Size, and it
is set to smallest. I checked the
Display>Properties>Settings, and the font sizes are all
small. I have done the Internet Service Pack 6 update and
the problem has not gone away. This problem is occuring
in various websites.

Please help!
 
Hi, Tabitha.
I checked the
Display>Properties>Settings,
Click to expand...

What screen resolution are you running? 640x480? 1024x768? Or what?
When a new window appears (the pop-up kind without an
address bar),
Click to expand...

Not sure what you mean by this. Are these windows that you want to appear,
or pop-ups produced by ad-ware, spyware and other obnoxious malware?

When spyware attacks your computer it alters the view of the browser. sometimes the toolbar goes off and also unexpected results are seen.

Scan your computer for spyware using Ad-aware and then this problem might go away.
 
It is a laptop, LCD display, the screen resolution is
1400x1050 pixels. Even when I shrink the resolution to
1024x768, it still has the same problem.

I should be more clear, although I don't know how to
emplain it properly without showing it. Is there anyway I
could safely post a screen capture?

By me saying pop-up, I mean a new window without a tool
bar. An example of this is when I go to webmail, I click
on NEW> and where it has a drop down arrow (without a
scroll bar), it is supposed to say "Compose New Message"
and below that "Compose Fax" but instead, it has
just "Compose N" of "Compose New Message" and just the top
half of the characters in "Compose Fax".

I have checked to see whether this is just the
site/program, but it works fine on the other desktops.
This happens on other sites as well, but usually the
third 'window -in' meaning I am in the normal webpage, I
click on a link and another window appears (exactly like
the one I am in typing in now), and then you click to
browse/attach/whatever and it opens another page, but
everything is cut short and you cannot see what is
written, you cannot adjust the size and there is no scroll
bar.

Hope this helps!
