Win95 Windows Explorer maximizes off-screen.


Recommended Posts

This is really odd, when I launch Windows Explorer then maximize it, it goes to the full size but off to the lower right of the screen. It only affects Windows Explorer with the folder view pane.

It does not do this for My Computer, Control Panel, IE5.5 or Media Player 7.1 or anything else I've installed on this old Armada 7380DMT laptop.

I have DirectX 8.0a installed too.

I may have to give up on Win95b and go with 98SE, but 95 seems to work very well with only 64meg- I know 98SE won't run near as well with 64meg. Been there, done that, saved my $ for 128meg!

The only other thing as weird I've seen with Win95b was a TriGem Ark Logic 1000 videocard where the Win95 drivers from TriGem would restrict the mouse cursor to 1/2 of the screen. (I fixed that by hacking the TriGem drivers together with the Ark Logic reference drivers. I uploaded the hacked driver to driverguide in the 90's and I still get e-mails thanking me for it.)
