Lost my close down dialogue box....

[Goz]

it'll teach me for having two screens (laptop plus a monitor) and swapping stuff between the two, but .....

I've now "lost" the dialogue box that appears when you close Actinic down. Can't see it anywhere on either screen. I know it's there somewhere because the focus is lost from the main Actinic screen. I can press return and Actinic closes normally or I can escape and the focus is back on Actinic.

I've tried all sorts of combinations about which screen is extended onto and which is the primary monitor.

Anyone got any clues as to how I can force this dialogue box to appear on the primary monitor?

thanks

Sounds like a trip to the registry - after backing up all the Actinic keys. If your confident in the registry then this is an option. Otherwise a call to support next week might be your best bet.

OK - thanks Duncan.

Thought it might be the case. I'll have a look and see what I can see.

thanks

Also: when you believe the dialogue is active, Alt+spacebar followed by 'M' will engage the 'move' function and the arrow keys allow you to move the dialogue from its position (probably off-screen). Try it on a visible dialogue or application window.

When my double screen setup gets confused, i just revert back to one screen and it all seems to reset fine for me. I then reinstate the second one again.

Thanks guys.

I've reverted back to the single screen set up and everything is back to normal - except this dialog box which is situated with its left hand edge just off-screen on the right hand side (thanks to Alan for the tip - that's how I found out where it is!) I can move the dialog box to a place I can see it.... but it won't fix there, so the next time I exit Actinic, the dialogue box is back off screen. Halfway there!
