Getting windows back on screen

I have a powerbook that I often run in a 2 monitor setup. But when I'm not running it in two monitors there are certain apps that seem to think it still is, and if they have palettes that are stranded in the impossible to reach area outside the screen, I'm sunk.



Does anyone know a way to get the trouble making windows back on the screen?



Thanks.

    Go into your display control panel in System Preferences and turn off monitor spanning, that should do the trick. But you'll have to turn spanning back on to get it to work again...kind of a pain, but at least you'll have your windows back.

    It's not really that much of a pain. Put the monitor thing in the menu bar, then just do that and detect displays whenever you connect or disconnect and it will do it for you. I am not sure, but hitting the span/mirror button (F7) might do the same thing and auto detect displays.

    The monitors are unspanned. But the window is still no on screen. I can push F10 and see indeed that it (the color picker in PS) is zooming in from off screen.



    Oh well. . . Adobe sux.
