IE8 in windows7 stuck in preview mode.
I need help my IE8 is stuck in preview mode. I have tried everything I can think of and nothing helps. IE8 will start but in preview mode and will not go to full screen so you can use it.

Hi, Before going any further, please let me know the following information: 1. By preview mode, do you mean thumbnail preview on Taskbar? 2. Does IE go to Full screen mode if you click IE on taskbar without displaying the preview mode? 3. Does this issue happen on any other program? First, I suggest updating your device drivers from computer manufacturer's website. If it does not work, you can reset IE as below: Reset IE ============ Note: the following steps will disable installed add-ons and reset IE to default settings. We need to re-enable the add-ons after resetting 1. Click the Start Button, type "inetcpl.cpl" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box, and then press Enter. 2. On the Advanced tab, click Reset. 3. In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, click Reset. 4. When it finishes restoring the default settings, click Close, and then click OK twice. If it does not work, you can test it in Clean Boot mode: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 If the issue persists, please check if it happens on Windows 7 Basic Theme: 1. Right click on Desktop and choose Personalize. 2. Choose Windows 7 Basic under the Basic and High Contrast Themes.Vivian Xing - MSFT
