problem with full tilt interface

[DaycareInferno]

i don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but every once in a while i get the disappearing windows of doom on full tilt. tables will be the in the task bar, but out of site, even if you tile them. you can get them back by opening and closing more tables, since it defaults the next table you open to go into the last position.

my big problem is with the hh screen. i can't figure out any way to bring it back. aparently your preferences are stored server side, so even if you reintall, you're still hosed.

anyone know how to correct this?
