On-Screen Keyboard is HUGE!
I've tried everything to try to reduce my on-screen KB to it's default size,
including 'system restore (4 times), which failed for some reason, shutting the whole thing off, restarts, etc. I have no idea what I did & it currently falls off the 18" x 20" screen so that I can hardly find the menu to 'exit'! Please, anyone have any idea? Thanks, much appreciated... -- I hate Vista

What happens when you open a card game in Windows?

Since you "tried everything" there is nothing else to do.

There is a good chance you default window has been changed. Try going
to the program itself under Start - All Programs - Accessories - Ease of Access and RIGHT-click 'on screen keyboard' to get to it's Properties menu. Once there, check the drop-down list for "Run: " and see if it has changed from 'Normal Window' to 'Maximized'. If it has, then change it back to normal. You should also be able to double-click the very top title bar of the window and reduce it back to normal size. Questor --- "LuLu" wrote in message ...

On-Screen Keyboard is HUGE!
Thank you, Questor, for your suggestions. I checked the default window and
that was never changed - still reads "Normal". I cannot click on the title bar since it is off the screen. I can't grab it to move it in any way. I barely can hover over the drop down menus in order to exit & get rid of it. Card games open normal size. (What is an "OP"?) I appreciate the time you took to reply with some constructive suggestions. I did not consciously do anything to change or maximize this KB and I would not play around with something unless I was pretty sure I knew what I was doing. Do you have any other ideas on how to fix this? Thanks. -- I hate Vista "Questor" wrote: There is a good chance you default window has been changed.
