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?

Re: Help please, screen trouble.
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.

Re: Help please, screen trouble.
SJ, if the Shrapnel Forums would add an extra star for member Ratings, it would come in handy at times like this.  |

Re: Help please, screen trouble.
It doesn't seem to work for me.(I have also tried using caps-lock for the M.) Any alternative methods?

Re: Help please, screen trouble.
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.

Re: Help please, screen trouble.
I have had this problem occur in the past, with different applications. In any case, the problem still exists, unfortunately.

Re: Help please, screen trouble.
Of course only works if you have an english Version of windows. Other Languages use other keys for the "M"ove command. Your sig doesn't show where you are from, maybe that's the reason?

Re: Help please, screen trouble.
I believe I am using the English(American) Version of Windows XP.
