217125 2004-02-21 04:33:00 Sounds dumb but I've forgotten the secret of moving a window in a program that has not got a minimize/maximize or resize function and has controls at the bottom which can not be accessed unless that portion is lifted into sight. I'm sure its got something to do with the shift key/mouse function. Hope someone can help. Thanks. galeforce (925)
217126 2004-02-21 05:03:00 Anywhere on the title bar, you click and hold with mouse then move it where you want it to go.

Is that what you mean?

217127 2004-02-21 06:01:00 You can right-click on the application in the Taskbar and chooce Move.
Press an arrow key (Any direction), now move your mouse and click when done :-)

Does that help?

Cheers


Chill.

217128 2004-02-21 19:55:00 Yes PoWa, you can do this but that app. window will only go as far as the mouse cursor will go and that is to the top of the screen - still leaving the remainder of the window hidden below the bottom of the screen.
So no joy so far.

217129 2004-02-21 20:03:00 Thanks Chill,but no luck.
It appears that, yes the app. window moves - up as I want it - but it only goes as far as the mouse cursor will go and thats to the top of the screen and stops. Still not allowing a view of the remaining portion that I need to access on this particular application window in the program I'm using.
I'm sure I've got your explanation right, but its not getting me where I want.
Thanks

217130 2004-02-21 20:24:00 With the window displayed, right click on the program name in the task bar and select move.

Then use up-arrow to move the window up. You will need to do the reverse to get it back again.

There is something seriously wrong with that program. A window should not display in a manner that requires this. Perhaps you need to adjust your display resolution as another possibility.

What is the application that is causing this problem?

217131 2004-02-21 20:54:00 I have the same problem with one rarely used program - can't remember which one - but to solve it, I have to change screen reolution from my normal 800 x 600 to 1024 x 768.

217132 2004-02-21 21:45:00 Hi galeforce. With your application window showing, do you still have the bottom toolbar showing - Start, etc..... ? Scouse (83)
217133 2004-02-22 04:20:00 Yes,but I have that on auto hide so that not obscuring anything. galeforce (925)
217134 2004-02-22 04:30:00 Hi godfather. The program is a freebie called digibookshelf. Just a little photo album type thing and it Japanese !!!
I'll give the screen resolution suggestion a go after.
Thanks to you and PeterH for those replies.
