Email sizing problem on outlook express

suddenly my emails are 1/5 their regular size when I opened them in Outlook Express. I click the rectangle to expand them to regular screen size so I can read them, then when I want to respond and click reply they immediately return to 1/5 their size. How do I get this back to opening emails that cover my screen?

Try this. Expand the window to the size you want, then click on File at top left, hold down the Ctrl key and then click on Exit. See if the next time it opens the correct size.

No it didn't work. I tried even closing down Outlook Express and reopening.

i was having same problem and i did not know how to solve it before reading this post so thanks

Okay, try the suggestion here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/190277

That did it. When I dragged the four corners to expand the window, then clicked off that window and clicked on it again, the window was exactly the same size … thanks much, appreciate your help, as I'm sure others who view this on the site will as well. Have a great day.

You're welcome, glad it helped. Thanks for letting me know.
