If you don't answer the questions we're asking, we can't do a good job of advising you further. To summarize what we still want to know:

Are you using the "floating" or "docked" window mode? If you don't know what that means, just tell us whether or not the windows have title bars.

Is this a Classmate laptop? If you don't know what that means, just tell us what brand of computer you are using.
