    I know this is a very knowledgeable group, so I hope someone can help me. Out of the clear blue yesterday, when I click on a link, it opens in less than half of full page. Very frustrating! Does anyone know how to get these pages to open as a full screen?

    Thanx for any help you can give me.

    Yes, this is how I enlarge the screen - with the middle button at the top right of the screen. I used to be able to click on a link and the new page would open as a full screen. But now it opens as about 1/4 of the size it used to. Then I have to maximize the screen. I hope I'm making this clear.

    If the last page that you view is only open 1/4 of the screen when you close out of the internet it'll open all the new screens to that size. make sure when you close out of the internet the last page is open to full screen! I have no idea why this works but that's how I solved the problem when I had the same issue.
