Opening an ai file by double clicking file icon - Windows XP

When I have an ai file on that is on my desktop and I double click, the window that opens does not fill my screen, when it opens it only takes up 1/2 the screen.    Ai use to open up a full screen when doing this, but not anymore.  I've attached a screen shop of what I get.
Any help would be great!
TIA

Ai use to open up a full screen when doing this...
Unlikely. This has been a known problem with Illustrator Win, and, to my knowledge, it has not been fixed... and here we are at version 14. I've railed about it for years, but now I've given up.

The last of those links contains a workaround I've been using, which entails starting AI via a batch file and changing the .ai file association to that batch procedure.
If you used to get a "full screen," you were just getting a "normal" (not maximized) window that was about the same size as your screen.
As with other discussions on this topic, we'll probably get contributors suggesting you set shortcut properties to start the app maximized, but you and I know that is not what we're talking about.

  • Cant Open System Preferences, when i double click the icon it opnes up and then after a second it disappears

    Hi new as a mac user...ok so how come i cant open my "System Preferences" and my "hard disk icon" is missing from my desktop? and im seeing question marks on my icons, namely the "download" icon and the "documents" icon? i need help :/
    i tried opening the system preferences from the uper left corner of my desktop but to no avail. and i cant really reinstall the OS because macbook air doesnt have a disk drive and my MBA is early 2008 so it doesnt have the USB thingy that the latest MBA has.
    i was thinking maybe because i changed a couple of things in the "sharing preferences" i have no idea i need help any suggestions?

    I'm also using Windows 7 on a Lenovo U310 laptop.

    when double click itunes icon it shows " The file itunes library.itl can not be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes" so what can i do?

    Unless you have attempted to downgrade to an older version of iTunes this is likely to be a sign of a corrupt library. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

  • Can't open folders or emails by double clicking mouse

    I can't open folders or emails by double clicking my mouse. I was using a corded Apple mouse, so I switched to a Logitech cordless optical mouse, still can't open them. I can open my folder with command O, but not email. Any suggestions?

    This worked for me: I trashed my mouse prefs, then restarted, then -- goto System Prefs --> Keyboard/Mouse --> Mouse --> Double-Click Speed: Now move the speed a minimum of one notch below FAST.
    Yesterday I installed a Logitech MX Revolution, cordless mouse and lost the ability to double click with it and with my Mighty Mouse. Resetting the double click speed below FAST miraculously reset.
    All seems OK now.

  • I cannot open numbers.  When I double click on the icon it says "Numbers cannot be opened while it is being updated."  The same is happening with other programs.  I recently upgraded to Mavericks

    I cannot open numbers.  When I double click on the icon it says "Numbers cannot be opened while it is being updated."  The same is happening with other programs.  I recently upgraded to Mavericks

    Well, I figured itout.
    Apparently the Numbers (and Pages) app downloads was stopped and \never re\started.. possibly because of something I did, like turn off my machine during them.
    I went to Apple > App Store > Purchases.  I discovered all three iWorks apps were listed but showed "Resume" as the status button at the right.  I clicked on each to get them started again... and they eventually automatically became "Installed".
    They work, now!

    Just for your information.
    Rorohiko Ltd. has just released a new version of Soxy, which lets you do just this.
    If you don't know what Soxy does, here is a brief description:
    There’s a common problem when there are multiple versions of applications like Adobe® InDesign®, QuarkXPress®, Adobe Illustrator®… installed on the same computer.
    Double-clicking a file’s icon will often cause the wrong application version to launch. As a result, you might unwittingly re-save a document into a more recent file format, which could be a bad thing. Maybe it’s a customer file, and the customer might not be able to open the updated file when you e-mail it back to them.
    Soxy acts like an interceptor when opening documents and redirects the files to the appropriate applications of your choice.
    Our latest version has an option in the preferences that lets Soxy override the Finder's behaviour when there are '#' characters in an InDesign file name.
    You can download our latest version of Soxy from the Rorohiko website:

    jar files. hey, OP asked a question; what's wrong with answering it? And who are you to decide whether s/he is ready to learn about jars?
    That said, double clickable jars and
    everything you need to know about running you Java
    program by clicking on something is well discussed in
    the
    Jar
    thread.Yes, but why pass the buck to them if you can answer it just fine yourself?
    OK so I'm being a bit aggro, the forums are moving really slowly.

  • Firefox is not start up when I double click the icon on Mac. So I got nothing

    I don't know that it happens to me. Today I update firefox 3.6.4 Beta3 on the machine that I hope it old problem issue is gone. But I've been got a problem that I've double click a icon on Doc and then it's gone.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • Cannot double click an icon or title bar

    i have just noticed since the last os update for snow leopard that when i double click the icon or the title bar nothing happens, whereas before i used to be able to either open a folder or an application, or minimize something with a double click. If anybody has ideas about what is going on, please write. Right now i can only open things up in secondary button mode, in the dock or the menu bar. thanks

    This is urgent! What? Replacing an icon is urgent? That's ridiculous.
    Can anyone tell me how I can replace Sun's Java Icon?The way you were already told. Only if you aren't going to put the icon in your current working directory, don't write code that assumes the icon is in your current working directory.
