Help please, screen trouble.

I am having trouble with a application that is off of the viewing area, to the far right of it. I can't move the application since it doesn't offer the possibility to do so from the task bar, and I don't feel like attempting to retrieve it manually.(Increasing resolution doesn't work) Is there a utility that can help with this?

Switch to the program (using alt-tab)
Then press Alt, Space, M

Now you can use the keyboard arrow keys to trag the window back to where you want it.

SJ, if the Shrapnel Forums would add an extra star for member Ratings, it would come in handy at times like this.

It doesn't seem to work for me.(I have also tried using caps-lock for the M.) Any alternative methods?

If it is resisting attemps to move it, it dosen't sound like anything you'd want to have on your PC...

Try an Alt-space-m, and then click (before moving) and drag.
