CLUELESS...about windows media

hi-
I am new to this site, so thanks for the help in advance. I am clueless about computers-so this is probably a relatively simple problem.

When i open Windows Media, I can see it open on the taskbar below, but it does not show within the monitor. If i click on it in the taskbar, it appears that the windows media screen goes streaking from the bottom taskbar to the top right corner of the screen....but still out of view.

Anyone ever have this problem with this program or any other.? I am unable to move it, maximize it or anything else that would allow me to see this on my screen. ANy help is appreciated...either posted below or emailed to maitland13@hotmail.com...

Thanks again

If you can see any part of it, you should be able to put your cursor over any part you can see, left click and hold on your mouse and drag it to the center of your screen.

No
I can't see anything...clicking on it "appears" to move it from the bottom toolbar to off screen with nothing showing. I have tried to maximize, move, everything and can't get anything to show

please help if you can

i tried that too

yeah the only options i have when i right click the toolbar is restore, minimize and maximize...

restore and maximize and minimize do nothing---could this be something that i need to delete and put back on my computer...(if this is something that originally came with my computer---and i can find the disks???)???

I would go to microsoft.com and just download and install whatever version they have.
