Windows either full-screen or closed?

Over the last few months I've been noticing odd behavior with window
sizing and positioning under XP Pro here at the office. I thought it
was just me, and blamed HydraVision. However, today another user
complained to me of a similar (but different) problem, and they have a
nVIDEA card.

Basically, on her machine a small but growing number of programs will
not "maximize" correctly. The window can be put into maximized mode,
but will not come back out of it. Clicking the button again, to return
it to normal sizing, makes the entire window disappear from the
screen. Interestingly, there's no "resize animation" at all, it simply
disappears, *poof*.

This first appeared in a custom 3rd party app so we thought it was
just a bug, but today it suddenly appeared in Outlook. Rebooting does
not help, nor does all of our fidling with the control panels.

Any ideas?

And if a window is not maximized, can you resize it by dragging the
lower right cornet with the mouse?

And what happens if you choose "resize" from the popup menu
you open by a right click on the title bar?

It's hard to say, because they are always maximized or minimized.

Nothing. We also tried move. Neither makes the window become visible,
it remains "hidden".
