The last week or so I have noticed an odd thing. When I turn on my monitor, my browser windows are all half the size they were when I turned it off. Sometimes when I turn it on the taskbar is even half way up the screen for a few moments, as if turning the monitor on and off was forcing it to change the resolution. I use firefox, running windows 7.

1Stupid question, but bears asking: you've rebooted in the last week or so, yes?– goblinboxCommented Mar 8, 2010 at 5:25

Do you have multiple monitors?– harrymcCommented Mar 8, 2010 at 7:14

Is there a particular reason you are physically turning the monitor off instead of just letting it go to sleep normally via power settings?– BBlakeCommented Mar 8, 2010 at 13:50

No, just one monitor. I reboot every other day or so. As for why I turn the monitor off - no reason really, the power settings are set to stay on always, never sleep and I've never bothered to change it. Its been that way for months though and never caused a problem.– JasonCommented Mar 8, 2010 at 18:27

Did you install any monitor software? What are your monitor specs?– kokbiraCommented Apr 6, 2011 at 19:10

The task bar being halfway up the screen is monitor self adjusting, this is normal. Other then that, try restarting.

I reboot every other day or so, and this problem has been happening for over a week now– JasonCommented Mar 8, 2010 at 5:44
I suggest you may try this freeware (Autosizer) to force the size of any open program : http://www.southbaypc.com/autosizer/ Hope this help ;)
