Cant Move Window!

Im not sure if this is the right forum for my question... but eitherway. I am running windows XP Pro. There is an app on my computer called XBC that I use to play xbox games online. Somehow a window within that app got pushed off my screen. The top bar part that is on all windows windows got pushed off the screen and I cant drag it back on with my mouse cause the bar is OFF THE SCREEN. Everytime I open that window it is in the same place and I cant figure out hwo I can get it to come back since I cant physically grab it withg the mouse. I have even tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it to see if the memory for that window would reset but when I did this i found the window in its same location. please post if you can help. thanks.

Try Alt+Tab (holding down ALT and pressing tab several times until you get the app that's hidden) when you have the window hidden off the screen.

Hope that helps,

on the taskbar at the bottom, right click the window, and click move. hold down the left mouse and drag to center of screen.

it doesnt have a move option just minimize and restore. only one box aappears at the bottom the window that is stuck is within the app so it doesnt appear at the bottom as its own thing. and kram not the whole window is stuck just the top bar part that says what it is and lets u move it.

is there a way i can erase the memory of that program and have it so it doesnt remember the position that window was in next time i use it?

could you not just temporarily adjust your screen resolution so your desktop area is larger?
