Windows Too Far To the Right

Post by paulasheri »

Forgive me if this has been addressed, I was overwhelmed at the prospect of searching through 78 pages to check!

I'm working with PSPX6 64Bit

Basically out of nowhere a couple of days ago, I went to use 3D - Inner Bevel and the window popped up so far to the right that there's not enough to even grab it and pull it over. All the windows are popping up to the far right, though most of them show enough to grab and pull to the center.

I tried closing out and going back in, I tried rebooting, I tried the 32Bit version of the program - same problem.

This problem really really sucks! haha Anyone know a fix?

Thanks
paula

Sounds like you may need to reset your workspace.

Sometimes the workspace becomes corrupted. If this happens things like window positions can be off, incorrect icons can be used, keyboard shortcuts can stop working. Lots of small things can go wrong, and sometimes only one or two do.

Also if you have a saved workspace, once you've done the initial reset you can load the workspace back in.

Resetting your workspace will reset everything, any customizations, back to original. Like it's the first time you opened the program.

Close PSP. While holidng the shift key open PSP and it'll ask you if you want to reset the workspace.

You then have to reapply any customizations that you want. Once you've got the UI back to the way you like, save it. File->Workspace->Save.

Or, if you already have a workspace saved, just go ahead and load that one back in.

*cries* It didn't work! I reset the program and opened Inner Bevel and it came up way to the right again

Here...so you can see what i'm looking at. The far right, you can see only a sliver of the Inner Bevel window..

If you left click your mouse on what you can see of that camera icon in the top left corner of the Bevel window, do you get a message giving you the opportunity to Move? And if you can select Move, do you get that four pointed Move arrow, some of which itself will be off screen, which nevertheless allows you to left click again, hold and drag the window to the left?

Yeah, I tried that. I get the four pointed cursor, but it won't move it. Like it just doesn't have enough of it to grab.

Don't use your mouse.

Right-click, select Move. But then, once the cursor is activated, use your arrow keys on your keyboard.

Maybe try what works in X4: menu File/Preferences/Reset preferences... - Reset dialog positions and last used settings.

I don't know if you have to restart PSP, but you'll know soon enough when you open a dialog.

Hope it works, good luck.
