Hello,

Whenever I try to start a new email message from Outlook Express, the window
appears somewhere off my screen (upper left corner somewhere). The only way
I can get to see the new email window is to maximize it. If I then hit the
'little two
window' icon in the upper right corner, it goes back off the screen.

I have tried to resize and move it, but can't get that to work (because I
can't 'grab' the window). I have tried to cascade the windows from the Task
Bar, but for some reason, it doesn't cascade with the other windows.

Anyway ever seen this type of behavior before from a Windows application? I
don't think this is Outlook Express related, but a general problem.

I have also tried to increase my desktop sizing to 1600x1200, but it still
doesn't show up (still up off to the left somewhere).

HEEELLLPPPPP!!!! Thanks - J

Never Mind...someone in another forum figured it out for me :)

(click move on the taskbar, then use the arrows on your keyboard to move it
onto the visible part of the screen).
