Win,

If it's off the screen like Charlie suggests (I've seen this as well), select
"move" from the taskbar icon and then press each of the arrow keys a couple of
times to see if it "snaps" back to the visible portion of the screen (while
Windows apparently has no qualms about letting windows open off-screen, while
they're being moved it does enforce their location such that they're visible).
Try this first with a program that's behaving and you'll see how it works.

This trick works even for programs without taskbar icons... if you run the
program and then press Alt+Space, it brings up the "window" menu, which has
the "move" option available.

Yes, I had thought of the offscreen or too small possibilities,
but thanks! I couldn't remember the Alt+Space trick. Somehow
the move option didn't seem to reveal itself from the taskbar.
