This is from memory only (no time to go into the archives now), but I
believe it was Robert Holmgren who posted a workaround for the "cannot
go to full screen" problem which involved installing the video driver
for XP (if available) even when running Windows 7. This will result in
the loss of Aero and some other (superfluous?) functionality, but should
allow full-screen use of Xy. I tried it at the time and recall that it
worked, but since I rarely use full screen anyway, I went back to the
Win 7 driver when I changed video cards.

As for not being able to resize the Editor window, if you right-click on
the title bar, don't you get a menu that includes "Properties"? If you
do, you should be able to go to the "Font" tab and select a larger font,
which will make the window larger too.
