    Hi, I have clicked full screen in View in Internet Explorer, and now when I log onto it it opens my home page in full screen and I cant get to the controls to across the top ( File view etc) to unclick Full screen.

    The control lines ( Bars) flash at the top and then the screen goes white and the Home page appears in Fullscreen.
    Outlook Express and Google Chrome open normally???
    Will I have to reset IE to default settings , would rather not have to reset all the settings if possible.
    Im am using XP Pro SP3.
    Thanks Des.:confused:

    Hi demon, usually if you put the cursor at the top of your screen, the address bar should come into view to enable you to make the change > view > Full screen and back to normal. Cheers Neil.

    If you can see the top bar, left click & hold, then you can drag the whole screen to wherever you wish.
