      I changed my dual screen config, and now many of my sketchup floating windows are on a screen that doesn't exist! For most, I can press alt+space and m to move it, but others i can't. Is there some file I can edit or delete to reset this?

        Have you tried closing them using the Toolbars menu bar then re-open them?

          I had this same problem a few weeks ago. Sketchup uses std. Windows dialog boxes for its floating windows. If you are using Nvidia's nview screen drivers, there's a menu option to open dialog boxes on a certain screen. (see nview desktop manager, nview properties, the windows tab) Also, make sure you have NOT checked "center dialog box on display"

          That should fix your problem.

            Thanks for the tips, although it seems the Style window does not use standard Windows dialog boxes (which I suppose it's why it's one I can't do alt+space m on, which works for the others). Damn!
