On your keyboard, beside the f keys, is a print screen. Click that, then open any graphic program (even paint that came with your comp). Click edit, paste, then save as (jpg would be best), then just attach it in an email. click on my name, my email is there.

I agree with goodmorphing a screen shot would be useful in deciding what the problem is... but it sounds like MAYBE your IE is not maximized but the window is stretched larger then the screen resolution... if you right click the IE tab on the taskbar and choose maximize does it adjust itself. Some web page pop up adds have a habit of messing with this setting.

Blondie, is it only Explorer or is EVRY window you maximize gets the titlebar cut off too?
If it does it for everything, I strongly suggest you check your monitor setting. You know how? Those bottom at the bottom of your monitor, under the screen. Problem is all the monitors work differently. I think maybe you have two buttons, one that says [1] and one that says [2]? And then arrows? Or plus and minus?
It can be tricky to figure out.
Just let us know if you can't figure those buttons out.

I tried that Static, no luck, when it is in small mode (restore) I see all the I.E, border and all but when maximized the border round the top of I.E disappears.

It's every window I open Paxx. I will try my monitor settings as you suggest and let you know how I get on.
Thank you all so very very much for going to all this trouble for me. I really do appreciate it.

Here is something to try. Alternate click on your toolbar and select unlock. Then hold your curser over the green help spot until it changes shape. Click down and hold it and then drag that toolbar up, or over and see if more items show up. I wish I had a screen shot with the scroll bar at the top.

does windowblinds control the screen area used? My experience in litestep tells me that you can adjust the area used as the "desktop" I do not know if a negative value is possible but could the uis of a windowblind skin change the window/desktop area?
Blondie66 unload windowblinds completely and reboot without reloading any skins. is it still an issue?

um.... every spot there is a down arrow, see if the arros change shape. If they do, you can stretch the toolbar there too. Afterwords, lock the toolbar when you have it like you like it. But remember, seemingly at a wim, these change.

Might also be a simple fix like resizing the window and then closing to set as the size for the next window.
Don't know where that setting is but it is out there somewhere.
Another possibility is that the monitor needs adjusting. Factory settings are not really that great. At least from Gateway

set your reolustion down to a lower size and see if it puts things back in order for you and then if it does, set it back higher...

just a thought...
I did try setting WindowsFX beyond the display regions on my system and it refused to do it, so it probably isn't WFX at least if you have that installed and running.

I've tried everything guys, sorry I took so long to reply but a friend was having a look at it for me, but to no avail...he says I'm missing some pixels at the top ans his pc his the same? Could this be the norm for XP? I wouldn't know as I've only had XP for a week after using 98 for 3 years.
