I don't know what happend but now when I open a link or another window its not in the center of my screen, its half way down or over on one side. How do I get it to center itself like it did before?

Windows XP
Thanks

 

Position the window in the upper left corner.
Then while holding your leftmousebutton, drag the lower right corner to a full screen.

 

When I open the link or say your photo gallery it is full size, I just have to drag it up. I didn't have to do that before

 

Did you have an external monitor hooked up to your machine (if laptop)

or a second (or different) monitor hooked up (if desktop)

 

If you mean mean when the new window opens it's not full screen then move it to where you want it to open the next time then close it and try again. That seems to work for me.

If it's opening in full screen and part of it is totally off the screen then that's something else. Which is it?

 

Sorry, I misread that the first time.
Are you sure it's in full screen when it opens or just seems to be?

 

Yah its full screen, any gallery or link opens half way down. It just started doing this yesterday.

 

What happens if you double click the title bar?

 

Well that fixed it, but then when I close it and try again its the same. How did you save that pic of your desk top?

 

Windows always open up to the last configuration that they was closed on. So set your one window where you want it close out all the programs associated then reopen. It should be reset then.

 

If double clicking the title bar makes it expand then it's not opening in full screen like you think it is.
Do what Impact9 said.

As far as the screenshot, I use Hypersnap but it can also be done by just hitting the "Print Screen" key and then opening Paint or any other photo program and pasting from clipboard then save it.

 

That didn't work.

 

hmm I know I've had this problem before but for the life of me I can't recall what I did to fix it. I'm sure you've rebooted since this started. yes?

 

That was the first thing I did.... I know its something easy.

 

There is a certain key you can hold when closing a window that will tell Windows to open a program window in that position every time. I can't seem to recall what it is, but put the window where you want it then hold Ctrl or Shift while doing a File>Close. If those don't work, maybe try Alt or the Windows Key.
