Well is the problem acctually when you open bryce it's just not maxamized or is it that the view port for the wire frame is still tiny? If you want to get bryce to remember that it's maxamized when you first open it I believe you need to do a proper file>exit when the program is maxamized. If it's that the view port on the wire frame is to small it's because it's remained the default size of 640x480 which on a 1280x1024 screen is pretty tiny. To get the right size you have to go to file>new and then type in 1024x768 or what ever view port size fits you. As to get it to remember that size every time you open the application I've been lazy in looking that up. Probably some place in the properties that tells it to use that info as default. Can some one let us know exactly where that is? Either way that should at least partially solve your problem and get you to work on some renders. Enjoy. :-)
