Windows 7 Half Screen

[chirshey]

So far I am trying to work through a problem with Windows 7. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
: When clicking on a link, it opens in a partial page. I have tried a couple fixes I used for this problem after installing XP and Vista to no avail. Is there a new process for 7?
Help is no longer needed as I have gone the format & reinstall back to Vista. Was hoping this was going to be a painless upgrade, At my age, the PC is a tool and not something I want to become a vocation. Just want to turn it on and it works. XP and Vista have given me this for several years.

It seems like you were encountering an issue with links opening in a partial page in Windows 7. Although you have reverted back to Vista, if you ever decide to troubleshoot this issue in the future, here are some potential solutions you could try: 1. Reset Internet Explorer Settings: - Open Internet Explorer. - Go to the Tools menu and select Internet Options. - Navigate to the Advanced tab and click on the Reset button under Reset Internet Explorer settings. - Check the box for Delete personal settings and then click Reset. 2. Check Default Programs: - Go to Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs. - Click on "Set your default programs." - Choose a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer) and set it as the default program for all protocols it supports. 3. Check Browser Settings: - If you are using a different browser (not IE), make sure to check its settings. For example, in Firefox, you can check under Options > General > Applications. 4. Run System File Checker: - Open Command Prompt as an administrator. - Run the command: sfc /scannow to scan and repair system files if there are any corruptions. 5. Perform a Clean Boot: - Temporarily disable startup programs and services to see if any third-party software is causing the issue. You can do this by using the System Configuration tool (msconfig). 6. Update Windows 7: - Make sure your Windows 7 installation is up to date with all the latest updates and service packs. Remember, these steps are for future reference in case you decide to revisit the upgrade to Windows 7. Ultimately, it's important that your computer works seamlessly for you without causing any additional stress. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
