I don’t know what the problem is but it sounds similar to something I get from time to time.

Sometimes my users (running Excel XP) open a workbook and the window is not maximised. Fine.
They’ll go to click the maximise button and nothing happens. The button looks like it should work. It’s not ghosted, it looks fine – it just doesn’t work.
It’s not until they resize the window, even a little bit, that the maximise button is re-enabled. Then they can maximise.

What I suggest is using something like:
With Application
On Error Resume Next
.Width = .Width + 1
.Width = .Width – 1
.WindowState = xlMaximized
End With
