    I am having a weird issue with IE9, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit edition.

    Whenever I maximize the window, the bottom of the browser is behind the start menu... so essentially the bottom of the browser is hidden behind the start menu. Anyway to fix this?

    Do you have "Lock the taskbar" option set for your start menu/taskbar? Right click on the start menu and select properties.

    TSE, when you max the IE 9 window do you have a scroll bar on the right?
    Also if you click view - tool bars - and check status bar- does the status bar get hidden when you max the window? (it should be visible if you have auto hide task bar turned off)
    Right click task bar- properties - uncheck auto hide task bar

    I have seen this issue with FF and IE sometimes when the pop ups resize the browser windows. Close all open windows.

    Minimize the IE window, drag the top of the window down (almost half screen), now move the Window to the top left corner of the screen, and resize the bottom right corner of the window to fit above the taskbar.

    None of those suggestions fixed it guys... And no, this isn't fullscreen mode but it is maximized window mode if that makes sense... anymore suggestions? Google search got nothing.

    TSE, Are you dual booting Windows and OSX on your mac Book or are you using VMware Fusion 3 or other Virtual Machine?

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate off of a Boot Camp partition.

    I have Parallels 7 installed... so the drivers are installed on the Boot Camp partition.
