Preferences window not showing up

[Doogen]

When I try to launch the preferences, the preferences window does not show up.

It seems it's hidden behind something, I've tried to move things around but it is nowhere to find. The SketchUp main window is freezed and the one and only way to come back to SketchUp is to hit the enter key (wich I guess means I hit the OK-button in the invicible window).
I got loads of plugins installed. I use SketchUp 7.1.6860 Pro, on a 32-bit Vista machine.

Anybody knows a solution?

Try changing your screen resolution temporarily...

Try this:

• Go to the SU windows-pulldown and click on preferences
• Press Alt+Spacebar
• Press M (for Move)
• Press one of your directional keys
• Now move your mouse (without clicking), the window should stick to your cursor and you can drop it anywhere.

Did that help?

Thank you dear sir

One of those things where once you've faced the problem and solved it, you never forget. Much like getting rid of a dead hooker Shit, did I say that out loud?
