Application opens Off Screen

It sounds as if the Extended Desktop is active and that the application is opening on the other monitor that isn't actually connected.

The other option is that the Screen is incorrectly set and is actually dropping off the top/bottom or sides of the monitor and the application is opening there off the visible screen.

You can plug in an external Monitor and drag this application back tot he NB's Monitor if it is an Extended Desktop Issue or just adjust the NB's Monitor to show the full screen depending on why this is happening.

This happens regularly with MS Word.97 ~ 2003. I have also had it happen with other applications. The program opens the window of the applciation at co-ordinates that are not part of the current desktop.

I will presume this is not being caused by an error directly in the application.

Try the following procedure.

Open the application.

Open the window menu by pressing ALT - Spacebar. If this is functioning correctly you should see the four way diretin cursor.

Use the cursor keys to attempt to move the application window back to a visible part of the desktop.

I have also seen child windows such as a document in word open the same way, even though the main application is centerd correctly on the screen.
