Having a problem with my Notes....

Thread Starter 
I have a place to post notes on my computer and I keep them for future reference. They show up as post it's. I have a few of them and usually when I click on one the whole screen shows up with the info. Yesterday tho after doing my defrag when I clicked on the icon, only a small area showed up and left out most of the info since it wasn't big enough to show it all. What has happened and do you know what I can do to get it back to showing the whole screen. I had right clicked to see if I could open the page but there was nothing to open it, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

What is the name of the program? Is it Windows Sticky notes or a third party app? (if former, the latter is the answer to the problem)

It is a Dell XP computer and it just says Notes. When I click on Outlook the bottom left column gives you a choice of Mail, Calendar, Contacts and Tasks. Under that there are what looks like a tiny Sticky note and that's what you click on to write a 'new note' and then afterward click on that to read them. Hope I'm making sense here.

You do, but I think strange_wings answered it already:

Don't use the windows version - there are lots of free reliable ones to download that will not get issues with every windows update or defrag

Since I'm not on Windows, I can't go through and test these. But you could try them or look for other reviews of them.

Keynote is a well known one, it may have more features than you're looking for, though.

Treepad is along the same lines as keynote, again offering more features and serving as an organizer.

noteable, a bit more simple.

ATnotes, seems even more simple. Notes sit right on the desktop. (which looks terrible to me, but I can't even stand desktop icons.)

Note-It. Looks like another simple one.

If you want to get even more complex there's notebook type apps. These, again, will have organizer features, searching, alarms, calendar, etc.

Thanks for the info SW. Don't know what I'll try yet.
