The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Restoring off-screen window

Asked by speyfisher in Microsoft Windows Operating Systems

Tags: Microsoft, Windows XP Explorer, SP2

One of my applications disappears when I click the top right button "Restore Down" of the IDE .  Maximize works fine.  But clicking "Restore down" causes the IDE to disappear-- I'm assuming off-screen.

Here's what happens:

1. Launch Flash.
2. Flash appears in taskbar but is off-screen.

I've tried several methods to restore:

--
1. Right-clicking Flash in taskbar displays context menu with options: Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize, Close
2. Clicking Maximize restores Flash
3. Clicking the button in top-right corner "Restore Down" causes Flash to dissappear again.
--
1. Right-clicking Flash in taskbar displays context menu with options: Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize, Close
2. Clicking Move causes cursor to change from white arrow to black cursor with 4 arrows
3. Using arrows keys up, down, left, right-- changes cursor to white arrow.  At this point I expect the Flash window to appear somewhere but never does.
--
1. I'm using dual LCD monitors with max resolution of 1280x1024.  I've alternately disabled each monitor and tried dual-monitors chaning trying each one as the primary device.  Tried various screen resolutions.


Using the context-menu controls hasn't allowed me to find the window.  I'm hoping there's an INI file somewhere or some other config that I can edit, delete, or reset.

Where are the windows settings 'remembered'--
How should I restore or find this window--

Thanks
