actinic opening in a small window

[pinbrook]

V8 has suddendly started the very irritating behaviour of opening in a small window, even if you makethe window full size and change site the new site opens smalll.

This has only started to happen in a past few days, i think thereis a thread on this but I can't find it...

Hi Jo,

Annoying that one isn't it? You can stop Actinic from doing it by Maximising the window then closing the software via 'File | Exit'. The next time you re-open it should automatically fill the screen.

Kind Regards,

Lara Clark

And if that doesn't work, it's a registry issue...

Close Actinic.

Start > Run > Regedit > HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Actinic > Catalog8 > Delete the WindowRect entry.

Open Actinic. Resize it to whatever size you want, then File > Exit. If you then head back to the registry, the WindowRect key should have reappeared... which means the registry has now succesfully saved your last-used window size, and reopen at that size until you change it and File > Exit again.

actually it fixed itself....

so i suspect I did what Lara suggested without knowing that would fix it. At least I know what to do next time - if I remember.
