I've had this problem with ie 8 myself. I have found that there is a graphic
that tends to bring up the context menu option. It's the fourth graphic from
the left upper corner of the screen. Or you can think of it as the graphic
just before you hear the title bar when reading with the mouse.
Press the numpad 7 key to move your mouse to the upper left corner of the
screen, then press the insert 9 key four times. This will move you by clips.
You should hear four graphic icons. Press the right mouse click on the fourth
graphic icon. See if the context menu with maximize appears.

Thanks, Manny. Your suggestion worked, although my son said webpages now
don't show everything visually that they normally would. I still wish I could
figure out why many sites don't respond to the Alt+Space x command, and whether
there is an alternative way to get them to cooperate.
Regards,
Paula

Aloha paula,
If you want your i e 8 to open in full screen mode, the best way to do this
is to go to your desktop,
then press i, until you hear internet explorer,
then press the context key, which is the key left of the right control key,
then press r,
then within the shortcuts tab,
press tab key 4 times and arrow down until you hear maximize window,
then enter to save the settings.
Good luck,
Manny
