Default Window off screen - atl+spc doesn\'t work

Ok, I moved the Poker Stars main lobby header off of my monitor somehow. I've tried using alt+spacebar to move it but when I hit alt+spacebar it puts my cursor in the announcement bar in the PStars lobby and using the cursors only scrolls up and down trough the announcements.

So how does my dumb ass get the window back?

You should be able to right click on the task bar icon for pokerstars and choose "move" there and then use the keyboard.

Same thing happens when I do that:

I right click the main lobby on the taskbar, select move, and it puts the cursor over the 'announcements' section of the Stars window and the arrow bars will only scroll up and down the announcements.

I just installed 'stars here at work and yah, I see what you're talking about now.

Wow, good game 'Stars, way to break the standard Windows API's. This is why Windows is claimed to be unstable - companies can't conform to what Microsofts API's are and conflicts arise. /rant

Do this, it seemed to work for me when I "simulated" this happening.

Do the Alt+Space then M for move (or taskbar click) and instead immediately click and drag the window. The mouse cursor is being moved to the title bar, so no matter "where" the title bar is, the mouse cursor will be over it and you should be able to then click and drag the Window.

Blame it on the Badgers getting crushed this past weekend by Penn.

I'm not sure what else to try at the moment, so if anybody else can come up with something otherwise I'll see if I can dink around later tonight.

Thats the easy way out. Clearly you aren't a geek or you'd be trying to figure it out. Plus it may not necessarily fix the problem.

On that note: Any luck BadgerPro?
