    Dialog Box off screen

    I know they are popping up, I can ESC and come back to the session, I played with graphic card settings and dual monitor settings (and resolution settings) but nothing seems to show them (out in space somewhere).....
    Anyone?

    Assuming they are "off screen", one way to get them back is to go into CUI, select your current workspace, Customize Workspace, select the Dockable Windows in the right pane, and change the palette's properties so that Show = yes, and orientation = Left (or Right). Click Done to save workspace changes, then OK on CUI dialog.

    Have you tried these keyboard combinations:

    Alt+Space bar
    M
    Hit any of the arrow keys on the keyboard
    Move mouse to center of screen and dialog boxes off screen will follow

    dmfraizer, I kinda of tried that but they were not docable....so no go...
    Paul, you are the winner, that worked. thanks....I figured it was simple and I tried the Alt+F...but there is no "File" pulldown so I was not getting that little menu with the move on it....
