window disappears when restore button clicked

Hello!

I am using last version of windows 98 on a PIII 550 with 256 megs ram,
Nvidia 16 meg AGP, and USB Microsoft optical mouse.

Today, when I opened WS-FTP, the program window disappeared, somewhere...
The program appears when I right click the program in the Taskbar and choose
"Maximize", and I am back to desktop (wallpaper) when I then click the
'reduced size' (restore) icon between the dash and the X at the top right of
the program screen. What happened, and how do I get it back, visible in
the less than maximized screen size?

Regards,

Andy

Ensure that the application is restored. Enter Alt + Space + M. The screen
pointer should move to an edge. Use the arrow keys to drag the window back
into the display until you can grab the title bar with the mouse.

Hello, Jeff!

Thanks for your response!

Following your instructions didn't work... The pointer did move to an edge,
but no matter how I moved it, nothing appeared. I tried the 'size' once
from the properties and a four way cross appeared, but again, no matter
how I manipulated it, nothing ever appeared...

Thanks for trying; I guess I'll have to live with the program in maximized
mode...

Regards,

Andy

I don't know, but... Did you click a shortcut to open WS-FTP? Then,
R-Clk it instead, choose Properties, & examine the Run box. Have it say
"Normal window".

Don't use the mouse at all when you use Alt+Spacebar+Move....just use the arrow keys
on the keyboard.

Restore the max'ed window using the "square" control in the upper right. This will
make the window disappear, according to your description. Right-click the taskbar
icon for that missing window, click Move on the menu that appears. Then use the
arrow keys till you see an outline of part of the window appear onscreen somewhere.
Try the right arrow key for 10 seconds, then the left for 20. Try the up arrow for
10, then the down arrow for 20. Increase the number of seconds on each try: 20
seconds with the left, then 40 with the right. It may be so far off in any
direction that it will take quite a bit of time to see a portion of it in outline,
edge back onto the screen.

The reason for doubling the time in the opposite direction is to get back to "square
one" and then go a equal time from there, in the other direction.

Thanks for helping, folks:-)

I solved the problem by uninstalling/reinstalling the proggie... Only took
a minute and a reboot....

Again, thanks for all your time...

Andy

You are welcome. Glad to hear it, although I still think Richards's,
Glee's or MY fix should have cured you.
