      have you tried getting it through window->shadows?

      If that doesnt work id guess the dialog is stuck behind the main SU window, i cant remember the exact sequence of actions to get it back, but if you play around minimising SU and any other apps youve got going, then maximising them again you can usually get it back.

        I have tried opening it through window->shadows and I have also tried opening it through the shadows toolbar. I have closed all other windows and minimised SU but theres nothing there. I don't know what to do

          Minimize will take the menus too: try "restore down" and then use the corners on the main SU window to make it tiny...?

              Did you have the laptop plugged in to a 2nd monitor at any point? Its possible to lose it on an monitor that is no longer plugged in i think,

                  My idea was the same as Tom"s; it may be hiding somewhere behind your main SU window. But if you tried that,it cannot be the case.

                  Maybe another solution: try to set your monitor resolution to something higher. Once I had a naughty dialog window hiding not only behind the SU window but it got stuck belowthe area visible. This way I could get it back.

                    After thinking about it I remembered that I was at one point having difficulties with my monitor on my desktop so I did plug it into my laptop to see if it was the computer or monitor, but it was only to check the monitor. I didn't use any programs at that time. That being said I have now plugged in another monitor to the laptop to see if the dialog box is off the single screen but I still an unable to locate it.

                    I am already using the highest resolution so that idea will not work.
