Have you fixed it yet ?

I had exactly the same problem once, and it is an easy fix, once you know what it is. I'm sure one of the earlier links will have the info, but i've forgotten what I had to do now, but it was a change in the OE (outlook express) set up :)

Try double-clicking the blue bar at the top of the window. You could click and drag the edges of the window to make it bigger. F11 will give you full-screen (F11 to revert). The only other thing I can think is that some programs don't like maximising because they can't cope with filling a large window (eg movie players)
