Some programs' windows stuck outside of viewable..

[Synomenon]

I recently tried using a dual monitor setup on my PC (running on Windows XP Pro. SP2 w/ all available Windows Updates). Worked great, but had to send out one of the monitors to exchange it. It's gonna be awhile till I get it back.

The problem is that when I had both monitors setup, when I would open Outlook and some other programs, I moved their window to the second monitor. Eventually they started opening up in the second monitor on their own. Now that I don't have that second monitor, whenever I open those programs, they open out of the Viewable screen as if the second monitor was still there. I've tried right click on their button down in the taskbar and selecting "Move", but nothing happens.

Anyone know how I can get those programs to move back to my primary / single monitor? Thanks.

The first thing to do is check the Settings tab of the Display Properties. If both monitors are still showing, click the image/number for the one that isn't currently attached. Make sure the Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor option isn't checked (it will be checked and greyed out for the primary monitor). That should do it.

If the 2nd monitor isn't there then try these steps:

- Right click the application on the task bar

- Choose Move

- Press the right arrow key on your keyboard

- Move the mouse around until you start to see the edges of the application appear on your screen

Do not press any buttons on your mouse or keys on your keyboard while you're moving the mouse around. If you do, you'll have to start back at the first step.
