    Hi.

    Have you tried reducing your windows display resolution then returning it to normal?

    Try re-booting your computer. I doubt it will stay off the screen after a re-boot if it's a windows issue. Yes, it's likely not the "technical" answer you are looking for, but I'd bet it takes care of the problem.

    I lose my windows all the time, due to having dual monitors. The best thing to do is call up the CUI window, then push Alt Space simultaneously. then you can use either arrows or your mouse to get it back into your visible desktop area.

    Thanks for you input. I did manage to get it back and it was a dual monitor issue. The guy that created the profile was using the opposite monitor as I was as his primary, so the location of the cui window on his screen was different for me. I had to go into properties and move my monitor to the other side to find it.

    Very good answer that most people forget.


    Just in case... For those that didn't have to learn keyboards...

    After hitting ALT+SPACE, hit "M" for move, and use the arrow keys to move the object window around. When finished hit ENTER; ESC will put the window back.
