I have a slight problem. [View all]

When I have a window open and I minimize it and open another window

the new window is getting smaller and smaller.

It is now approximately 1" in height and 5" inches long at the bottom of the page in the right hand corner.

I am afraid it is going to disappear altogether and I will only be able to have 1 window open at a time.

I hit the space bar and alt at the same time to bring up a small square with the options of;



restore; it is not in bold and it does nothing

move; I tried using the arrows to enlarge the page to the original size but that does not work

size; It does nothing to the size

-minimize; it minimizes

maximize; when I click it my window is restored to the original size

new tab

reopen closed tab

task manager

x close



How can fix this problem permanently ???


Please bear in mind that I know little to nothing about computers so the answer must be in simple

terms that I can understand with step by step instructions.

My computer is a new desktop HP.

I use Google Chrome as my search engine.
