Hi,

In dreamweaver, when i try to open the search diaglog it appears in my taskbar but not on the screen! I think the dialog box is outside my desktop area and i cant reach it!

Any idea how i can move it back to my desktop?

thanks
 
Last time this happened to me, I rotated my monitor.

Can you do that?

By that I mean my monitor is one of those ones that you can rotate between portrait and landscape. I didn't just turn my monitor on its side.

If you've ever hooked up your laptop to a secondary monitor and then disconnected without remembering to move the windows back to the primary desktop, you've probably encounted this problem:

The application is running. You can see it in the taskbar, but you can't see it on the screen, because it still thinks it's running on the secondary monitor. You try and use right-click, Move, but that doesn't do anything, and the window doesn't move anywhere. You end up rebooting and cursing Microsoft.

There's a simple trick to get around this. First make sure you've alt-tabbed to the window, or clicked on it once to bring it into focus. Then right-click on the taskbar and choose Move.

At this point, you should notice that your cursor changes to the "Move" cursor, but you still can't move anything.

Just hit any one of the arrow keys (Left, Right, Down, Up), move your mouse, and the window should magically "pop" back onto the screen.

Note: For keyboard savvy people, you can just alt-tab to the window, use Alt+Space, then M, then Arrow key, and then move your mouse.

This should work on any version of Windows. It's really amazing how many people are not aware of this little trick.

That has helped me in the past. Even when disabling dual monitors some programs still stay off the screen.
 
I normally click on the prog in the Task Bar, then press ALT, SPACE then M, you can then use the arrow keys to move the app window around but only if it's not running maxmised in which case press ALT, SPACE, R followed by the above steps.
 
Cant you right click and choose "MOVE" from he Taskbar then use Arrow Keys to bring it back on screen ?

Edit beat above, same thing but less moves. :)

Try a Demo of Ultramon. ;)
