    Hi !:wave

    Ive downloaded IE7 last night because I needed the 100% to get some things bigger on my screen (no its not what you think lol). Ok so that goes well, no problemo.

    My problem is that I work from home for a company outside Canada and I need my pc to work the way I want it to.......but it doesnt with IE7.

    I always work having my IE window in FULL SCREEN......so far so good, but I also need to be able to access my taskbar (at the bottom) while Im working. The problem with IE7 is that once you're in FULL SCREEN, you can NOT access the taskbar by sliding ur mouse down over it.

    Ive tried EVERYTHING that I could think of. Yes Ive ticked the "always on top of other applications" Ive ticked and unticked just about anything I could find that has to do with the taskbar, but its not working.:cry

    Im using WinXP PRO.

    Can someone please help me get my taskbar back in FULL SCREEN.....pleeeze?

    When in Full Screen mode, have you tried hitting the "Windows" key?

    What about pressing F11? That toggles between full screen and normal window size. So if you have IE in full screen, then press F11, then click the 'maximize' button in the top right corner, you should have a full screen IE with the task bar accessible.
    :-D

    Hello,

    bjgarrick, I have a Logitech keyboard without the numbers on the right side so my keyboard is very tiny, I cant find the "windows" key, Ive tried them all......so its not working. :cry

    dlb, Thank you for the welcome !! When in full screen, I press F11 it gives me a normal size window, then I click on maximize and it gives me a very tiny window.....so its not working :cry

    Thanks both for trying to help, I sure hope you'll be able to think of something else?

    Yes I know, but between my ctrl and alt keys, I have 2 keys, one is "Fn" the other is "Logitech" ?!?!?!?

    Fn opens a lil window that says FIND,
    The Logitech key opens the start menu.
