Running PS7 in Win2000, and while the computer is usually on a 2-monitor system, I recently had to move it over to another location with only one monitor (a projector) to make a presentation. After I moved it back, I now have a problem with PS. The Layer Effects window appears to be opening up on some off-screen location, and I can’t find it. I recall this happening before with either other programs or maybe earlier versions. I was able to fix it by deleting the .ini or .cfg file and letting the program create a new one. But this version doesn’t seem to have a .ini or .cfg file, so it must be saving these settings elsewhere. The "Reset Palette Locations" option in the Window menu doesn’t fix it. Switching monitors (either through the Windows settings or by physically swapping the plugs) didn’t help. I’m at a loss here. Any ideas?

Trash your preferences.

That should fix the problem.

Good idea. That’s what I’m trying to do. Where are the preferences? It’s not called "pref-" anything, and it’s not a .ini or .cfg file.

(If you were trying to post a link, it didn’t work. Probably because I’m on the NNTP server…)
