Dear Dbackron,
For the second time, I'm so greatful for your generosity. You're the
kind of customer that we researchers here wish for. This time, I'd
like to give you some advice regarding computer problems before you
ask for help so that you won't just spend your money to find a
solution that you can readily solve. Simply press the "Shift" key
before clicking on a link so it will open a new window or right-click
on the link and choose "Open in New Window" for your convenience.
A) When a problem occurs such as minor program errors, abnormal
program activity, system hang, blue screen error displays, etc., try
to restart first to clear the system and see if the problem is still
there. Some errors can automatically be corrected by Windows during
boot up.
B) Some Windows version have a feature called "System Restore" and it
is important that you remember this. When a problem occurs, this is
the first application for a typical user to try. Click on the links
below to learn more.

C) If suggestion 'A' is not successful and you can't access System
Restore, restart your computer again, press 'F8' repeatedly before
Windows boots up, and choose 'Dos mode - command prompt only'. From C
prompt, type: C:\scanreg -- the Windows Registry scan will run and
will try to automatically fix the error. Click on the link below and
open the links inside to learn more.

In response to your clarification, "Still having problem in Internet
Explorer. Have to click on "maximize" box for windows to open."
There is a software that will make things easier for you, PC World has
a quick solution for this matter that you can easily download. Just
click on the link below:
PCWorld.com -- IE New Window Maximizer v2.2
"If you're an avid multitasker, you know all too well how quickly your
desktop can get cluttered with windows. Though this utility doesn't
solve that problem, it gives you at least a semblence of order by
automatically maximizing every new Internet Explorer window that you
open. It includes a function for hiding or closing all IE windows with
a user-defined hot-key; you can also specify a particular IE window
that will not be hidden or closed when you use the hot-key."
