Restore down button doesn't work with Internet Explorer 8

[B_Hodge]

I had installed Windows Xp on my pc. Currently i'm using Internet Explorer 8 as my web brower. The problem is that when i use the 'restore down' button in the browser, it automatically gets minimizes and after that it disappears off the screen. In order to bring it back, i have to right click on the application on the task bar and then need to choose maximize. Everytime i have to do this process in order to get back the restore down button. Can any body tell me that why restore down button does not work with Internet Explorer 8? Does any body knows about it? Kindly help me out to get rid of the above issue.

It seems to be that your add-on is been messing things up on your system. Try to use your Internet Explorer with No Add-ons, which you will find it on your Start Menu under All Programs--> Accessories--> System Tools. If this work out for you, then you can troubleshoot it in your normal Internet Explorer connections by selecting Tools menu --> Manage Add-ons --> Enable or disable Add-ons.

You need to hit on the reduce button, then need to place your mouse at one corner of the Window in order to get the double-headed arrow. Then you need to do a left-click and try to grab and alter the dimensions to the one you want. After completing the process you need to hit file and then need to close down your Windows.
