This has happened to me on Windows for as long as I can remember, mid 1990s 
and Windows 3. It's rare, but I don't think a year has gone by where it 
hasn't occurred to me. At any rate, the most reliable and portable solution 
I've come across is:

   - press [Alt]-[Tab] until the invisible program has focus
   - press [Alt]-[spacebar] to bring up window controls (Move, Size, Min, 
   Max, Close)
   - then [M] to activate Move. A dotted or thin gray outline of window 
   shape should appear
   - then arrow cursor keys to move the outline centrally on active screen 
   (usually right- and down-arrow)
   - and finally [enter] when it's moved on-screen enough to nab the Title 
   bar with the mouse cursor.

With Win7+ and window snap ( [Winkey]-[arrow] ) the process is a faster, 
but not all programs obey it. (Looking at *you *Adobe).

cheers,
