Dialog Boxes off screen
-
I didn't find an answer to this under the search menu so hopefully there's a solution. I have multiple displays and just changed my graphics card. Now all of my dialog boxes seem to be appearing somewhere off screen and I can't find a way to get them back. Any options?
I have an nVidia 8800 if that matters.

All the answers to this have required the use of RegEdit to mess around the SU part of the Registry. If you are using a Mac, deleting the Preferences (Plist) file should help.

Hi Brodie,
I don't have multiple displays but on another forum I saw this solution, I hope it helps (credits to "Gully Foyle")

The way I get them back is by following this procedure. Do it for each missing browser, one at a time.
First, you want to give the browser focus, so you should select that browser from the Window menu, even if it already has a plus next to it (if it does, click it twice so it ends up with a plus and is the last thing selected. It should then have focus, even though you can't see it.
Then, you want to open its system menu using the keystroke Alt-Spacebar, then put it in Move mode by hitting M. At that point you should be able to scoot it around with the arrow keys. What you can do is to hit any arrow key once and then move your mouse back and forth, up and down, without pressing any mouse buttons. If all goes well, you should see the missing browser moving around with the mouse. Once the thing is back on-screen, click the left mouse button or hit Enter, and you should have it back.
Then proceed to the next missing window, and so on.
