Windows 7 Working windows resize randomly

[Snapafun]

With my current ATI setup I'm seeing my open windows resize when they are working, especially when they are close to the end of their task. This happens with any program and includes Windows own apps and explorer use.

I'm using a Toshiba Satellite L500D Laptop with the ATI package installed and running. Usual default settings set.

Anyone experiencing this?

It seems like you're encountering a window resizing issue on your Toshiba Satellite L500D Laptop with the ATI graphics setup. This kind of problem can be frustrating, but there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve it:

Possible Solutions:​

1. Update Graphics Drivers:
   • Ensure your ATI graphics drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause display issues.
   []Adjust Display Settings:
   • Check your display settings, including resolution and scaling. Sometimes, incorrect settings can lead to window resizing problems.
   []Check for Software Conflicts:
   • Certain software or background processes can interfere with the display. Try closing unnecessary programs to see if the issue persists.
   []Disable Automatic Window Resizing:
   • Windows has a feature called Aero Snap that automatically resizes windows when dragged to the edge of the screen. You can disable this feature to prevent unintended resizing.

     Steps to Disable Aero Snap:​

   []Go to Control Panel. []Click on Ease of Access. []Select Change how your mouse works. []Uncheck the box next to Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen. []Click Apply to save the changes.

   Additional Suggestions:​
