Application not visible 1

[TrekBiker]

I have an application installed but when I try to run it all I get is an icon in the Taskbar showing it's open. But it isn't visible on my extended desktop. How can I view it?

Other forum answere say to rest the mouse on the task bar icon then right click the mini window that opens. I only get Minimise and Close. If I minimise I then see Restore, which goes back to showing Minimise and Close.

Right- click taskbar, then select 'Cascade windows'

Use the old-style keyboard interface.

Assuming it's just got itself positioned off-screen somewhere, try
[tt]alt-space R[/tt]
This will make the app be no longer maximised (or do nothing).

[tt]alt-space M[/tt], [tt]then any arrow key[/tt]
This will activate the move window control, which initially takes its cue from the cursor keys.
However, once grabbed, you can move the mouse, at which point the window will jump to where the mouse is.

'Cascade windows' didn't do the trick but ALT + Space then M did! Many thanks, the app was off screen to the right.
