W2 Interface Question

[NZ0T]

When I run the W2 interface the display is "stuck" in the upper left hand corner of my Acer Netbook's display.  Right clicking and trying to move does not work. I have tried deleting the program and the W2 utility and re-loading both with no luck.   The display has not always been stuck this way as I could move it about.  I have not changed any settings on the Acer that I can recall.  The netbook is an Acer Aspire One D255 running XP.  I'm using Firefox if that makes any difference.

Any ideas?

I doubt very much that is a problem with the W2 software, more likely the window display software?

Click on the setup button on the screen and click on "always on top", then follow instructions, that will remove that option and allow you to move it on your desktop.

Some clarity, that setup option is in the W2 application.

Changing from always on top and back makes no difference.  I agree that it must be something in the Acer display but I can't figure out what it could be for the life of me.

[NZ0T]

Found the problem!  Not sure why this worked but I changed my desktop in control panel/display and that cleared it up.  Must have been something with the size of the picture I was using as my desktop.

Well, dammit, the W2 window has reverted to being stuck in the upper left hand corner of my Acer Aspire One again!  I have tried everything I can think of in the display portion  of control panel even going to no desktop (solid blue) and also trying the Windows XP theme which worked yesterday.  Obviously this is an issue with XP and or the small Acer (10.1") netbook screen and not the W2 problem.  Whatever I did yesterday worked for a time but trying that again today is not working.  So any help from someone who understands XP and the Acer better than me is greatly appreciated!
