I have Netscape 6, and whenever I start up or open a new window, the browser window appears as a tiny little square in the bottom right corner of the screen, and I then have to right-click on it and select “maximize” to get at the window. How do I fix it so the windows appear properly?

I downloaded and installed Netscape 6 about a month ago. I had nothing but problems with it. Always freezing up and other stuff like what you describe. I fixed it though. I deleted it. Went back to IE5. At least it works. More or less.

Try resizing it by dragging on it, choosing a reasonable size, then exiting and restarting it. That would probably be the easiest way.0

cheezit, I would recommend using the more up-to-date Mozilla, off of [mozilla.org](http://mozilla.org). Quite a few fixes have been made since NS6.
