If it happens again, remember that you can edit the maker.ini file's [DialogLayout] section to reposition your dialog boxes. (That would be the Documents and Settings maker.ini, not the Program Files maker.ini file.) To put your Character Designer in the upper left, for example, find the CFormat line and change it to "CFormat=1, 1". Save and exit, restart FM. Or just delete the CFormat line, and FM will read the position from the Program Files maker.ini. Another useful trick to remember is the Windoze shortcuts. If your dialog box is off-monitor, make it the active window by choosing its command from the menu (or by typing the keyboard shortcut), then type Alt+spacebar to activate the title bar menu, and type M for Move. (Important! Do not move your mouse!) Experiment with holding down different arrow keys until the dialog box comes back into view.
