Phot Screensave issue

I have Vista Home Premium and have an issue with the Photo Screensaver. The
screen saver itself works really well; I have many of my own photos
incorporated. However, when I bring the machine out of the screensaver, any
open windows that I had are reduced in size to about two thirds of the screen.

The only way I can resize them quickly is to tap the "Show Desktop" icon
twice, once to reduce the windows to the toolbar and the second to resize
them to the full screen. Is there any way that I can get out of having to do
this, it is really annoying.

Hi Mark,

Not sure how to fix the problem, but you may be able press F5 to
refresh the desktop also. It's a little bit quicker.

Sorry Mark,

The only other thing I can suggest trying is to uninstall your video
driver and reinstall it to see if it was a problem with it being
corrupted.
