Full Screen IE Setting on Vista Causes the Right Margin to Shift to the Left

I purchased a new HP Laptop dv9700t recently.

Configuration is below:

- HP Pavilion dv9700t Entertainment CTO NB
- Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)
- Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo Processor T9300 (2.50 GHz, 6 MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
- 17.0" WSXGA+ High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1680 x 1050)
- 3GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
- 50% OFF 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS!!
- FREE Upgrade to HP Imprint (Radiance) + Fingerprint Reader + Webcam + Microphone
- Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Network Connection and Bluetooth(TM)
- 240GB 7200RPM SATA Dual Hard Drive (120GB x 2)
- LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
- No TV Tuner w/remote control
- High Capacity 8 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
- System Recovery DVD with Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)
- Microsoft(R) Works 9.0

I have notice that when I go to full screen in Internet Explorer the entire screen's right margin shifts to the left and leaves a blank white space on the right side of the screen about 1.5 inches wide. I have the higher resolution screen display if that matters. I thought it might be a Vista bug but I had an HP dv6700tse laptop a week earlier (it was returned) and IE full screen worked fine on it.

Has this problem occurred to anyone else before and have they been able to fix it?

I was playing with the font increase settings up and down. Changing the setting hasn't made a difference.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Canyon

 

Don't bother replying. I determined it was one of IE add ons that was causing the problem, specifically "HP Print Clips". When I disabled it the problem ceased.

I haven't determined what this particular add on does yet. A Google search wasn't productive.

 

If you use IE as your main browser i suggest you try out Firefox. It is an exceptionally good web browsing software.
