Browser Problems

I'm a complete thicky when it come to computers so I'm hoping someone will be able to help me with my problem its driving me mad.

Sometimes I click on a link and the window will pop up but it seems to be off my screen. It's over on the left hand side and I can't get it.

I really need to be able to move my screen over to the left hand side, but I can't.
:confused:
Any ideas.

    Thanks for the suggestion but that don't work. The window I'm trying to look at is completely off the screen. Can't see any part of it.

    Try this -

    Right-click the window's title in the task bar at the bottom of the screen and select 'Move'

    Now you can use the arrow keys to move the window left/right/up/down (You can try the arrow keys randomly till the window comes into view)

    So even if the window is completely off screen (which usually only happens if Windows thinks you're using two monitors), you can use the arrow keys and hopefully it will come back into view

    hth

    Don't forget to close all the (IE ?) windows before you turn off your pc, ensure the last one to close is where you want it .... - then they will reopen where you left them and not over to the left again ...

    HTH

    PS have you a laptop ? And set for 2 screens as mentioned above .... right click empty part of the desktop >> properties >> Settings tab ...
