With your sites, drag all the edges to the full width of the screen. Close it, then re-open it, it should open to full size.

As far as logging in, hmmm, I'm not sure.

Tried that dragging to full screen, then reopening, but it's still small. Still having to log in every time i'm on here also. help!!

Log into the kitchen table from where all the posts are listed (not while you're in a particular post)

Underneath where you put your password is a little box. Check it, it says something about saving your password so you don't have to log in every time.

I can't help you with the other problem.

When you resize your screen, you have to close it from the Menu bar...not exit, close.
If that doesn't work, then you have to change your screen resolution. Right click on your desktop, click on properties, then click on settings. Play with the slider until you have the right resolution...probably lessen it.

What browser are you using?

If you close the browser and then come back to GW, do you have to log in again? If so, your browser setting is probably set to delete everything upon exiting.

I really prefer Opera - it's the best browser I've ever used. Far more trouble free, far more features, far more customizable You didn't say what you're using but I'm going to guess that you're using Internet Explorer. (sigh) Oh well, your risk. But first, be sure you have a good firewall installed. I like Comodo. Next, install and update about monthly SpywareBlaster. Check for Windows Updates weekly (they usually come out on Tuesday).

Requiring you to log in each time suggests an issue with the cookies on your system. Go into the cookie settings an make sure they're being allowed.

Especially with using IE, it's important to have a good antivirus running all the time. I like AVG free version. And you should use a malware checker regularly. I like Iobit's Advanced SystemCare since it covers a lot of bases but you should also have a secondary checker too. I like Spybot Search & Destroy and A-squared.

Hopefully you got all these programs installed and set up before even going online. If not, do it immediately and run the scans immediately.

For the sizing issue, it's an age-old quirk in IE, assuming that's the browser you're using. It sometimes clears itself after a couple days. You can click the maximize button (the middle one in the upper right corder), the click File, Close. If the menu bar doesn't show, press the Alt key to view it, and you can use Alt+F to get the menu. Most of the time you can use the maximize key but sometimes you can only manually drag it out and then use the File Close and live with it that way until it straightens itself out, but most of the time the max button works. It's amazing they haven't done anything about this glitch, er "Feature" since it's been causing people problems for a decade. But Microshaft knows best. At least they think so.

May I add 2 more malware, spyware features?
I like SuperAntiSpyware and Advanced System Care.
They are both free, and my antivirus is Avast. Avast and AVG are both good.

I have IE ( I only use it for my work site, as it won't work with anything else), Firefox and Chrome.

Thanks, all. I just installed google chrome, which we had before, things seem to be ok now!
