My son just took a look at it and was able to expand it by dragging it out at the corner. Apparently, the problem is that the maximize button no longer works and I thought the program was either corrupted or that they were discontinuing the free service. Do you have any suggestions on how to get the maximize button to work again? I suppose I could always drag the corner to open it in the future, but that seems kinda odd to have to do that.

 

You might try rebooting the computer.  If that does not help, you could try installing it again.  Are you saying the Maximize square is not showing?  You might also try right clicking on the window header and them Maximize. 

 

When a program is shutdown the window settings are left at the last settings.  That's why some people have their Explorer windows change size from time to time.  They close the browser to find a pop up window behind the main window and when they close that window it will reset the window parameters for Explorer.

What are these guys talking about?  It sounds like something about computers, doesn't it?

Yeah... yeah... they're definitely working on computers... no question about it.

 

Rebooting didn't help.  The maximize square is there, but it is disabled (looks like a ghost).  I went to the atomica web site and could not find the free download. All I could find were upgrades that were not free services. I think maybe I will try e-mailing their support team to see if they will send me another program download. Don't want to lose this little program as I really enjoy having it in my tray. Guess I can live without the maximize feature if I really have to and in the event that they no longer support replacements of the free service.  Question:  Is there a way that the Norton System Works utility can repair the program?  Do you recommend running System Works or just the anti-virus program? I seem to recall MikeyB saying he did not like the Norton System Works utility.

 

Hello, Airborne.  We're talking about an online dictionary, encyclopedia, thesaurus, search engine, etc., that some of us really enjoy. It's like an online butler that sits in your tray waiting to serve you if you have any questions about anything.

The name of the download file from Atomica is atomicainstall and it may still be on your hard drive somewhere.  I suggest you use Start, Find Files or Folders and see if it is there somewhere.  If you find it, then uninstall the Atomica you have and reinstall by running the program atomicainstall.  If you need me to I can email you the program atomicainstall.  It is 981KB, but I'm not sure your hotmail will take that much.  I have other means to get it to you if necessary.
