    Going from 2 monitors to 1 crippled SW

    I had one of my two monitors die. Changed the video driver to the working monitor. Now all of SW's dialog boxes are off screen and can't be used. How do I get them back short of waiting till the new monitors arrive? All the other software on this box adapted even while open but SW is borked.

    Try RMB on Windows desktop screen and change resolution that may fix it.

    Should be a SW specific setting in the Vid driver to switch back to single mode

    Yeah you can whack it in the registry but you lose all your customization. So I grabbed the boss' monitor while he was at lunch. Really, how hard is it to scan the graphic environment on start up?
