Have you installed something lately?

Have you tried excluding notepad.exe from yzshadow?

#65447

yeah i installed something and then Notepad went off screen but i just can't remember what...

Also, i've been using yzshadow since it came out and notepad never did that before so that's why i didn't exclude it...

Im not implying that Yzshadow has some kind of conflict with notepad, i have it since it came out too and has never given me trouble either, but, maybe excluding it would do something, in these weird cases anything is a suspect ehhehe

About not remebering what you installed, what i would do is just system restore... hmmm you can always go back...

Cheers,

try this:

open notepad, then on the taskbar, right-click notepad and select "move" then use the arrow keys until you get your desired position then close notepad, open it again .... see if it retains the new position :) hope this helps.

Wow thanks! never thought of using the arrow keys to move it :baby: always tried dragging the mother :nuts:

The culprit was probably object bar (Ithink)

Thanks again
