Dialog boxes appear off the screen

Hello, I have problems with dialog boxes in Illustrator CS6.

Dialog boxes are appearing in various different locations rather than a central location on the screen...

For example: the Save dialog box appears half off the screen towards the lower right section of the screen. Various other boxes appear at the top left, top right. All dialogs are mobile, so I can reposition in the Middle, but the next time I used appear where they were not at the Center.

I work on both a 13 "macook pro separately and with and 27" apple screen attached. Dialog boxes are visiable on 27 "screen, but often in odd places.

Is there a way I can reset their position?

I tried reseting all the dialogues, trashed the preferences in the preferences in the folder of the library on the computer but no luck. I'm puzzled.

Any help would be appreciated...

Thank you

nosbornf,

It is important that Illy is closed when you reset the preferences.

Try the following (you may have tried / some of them already) and see if it helps:

(1) close Illy and open again.

(2) restart the computer;

(3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift at startup.

4) move the folder with Illy closed;

(5) browse and try the relevant among other options;

Even worse, you can (if all else fails and no best answer appears):

(6) uninstall, run the cleanup tool and reinstall.

    The character you are evidence is a single quotation mark or tick rather than a comma, but the character you see in reality is probably an asterisk in a mask the password text box. In both cases, the problem remains the same.

    You have a key stuck on your keyboard which instantly fills any box entry with the typed characters, they are ticks or asterisks. The only audible ringer is a normal computer error indicating that the keyboard buffer is full, but entry continues, once again an indication of a stuck keyboard key.

    Try another keyboard. It may be possible to launch a key by a sharp tap, but the problem will probably persist in the future. I hope that you don't talk about your laptop.

  • File copy/delete dialog box is off the screen in a staggered multiple follow Setup

    I'm on Windows 8 on a ThinkPad W520 with a 1920 x 1080 screen and a secondary antibody NEC LCD2070NX 1600 x 1200 display connected via DisplayPort. The NEC is positioned to the left of the ThinkPad and raised higher than the ThinkPad display; the bottom of the NEC is near the center of the left edge of the ThinkPad.
    I put to the top of the poster in the Panel to take account of this arrangement:
    If I have a window of the Explorer of files open in the secondary monitor on the left and use this window to copy or remove some large files or folders, the progress dialog box is not visible. It is currently displayed in the "man no of land" above the main monitor and the secondary screen.
    The problem occurs when the secondary monitor is on the right, or above or below the primary. (I have tested some of these cases, but not completely). Also, this does not happen when the Explorer window is on the primary monitor. The problem does occur at all on Windows 7.
    Here's a film that illustrates the problem. For each image, I copied a large directory on the network and took a screenshot to display side by side and move the secondary display up to about 120 pixels in the control panel every time. You can see how the copy dialog box follows the secondary monitor vertically, but her left side is pinned to the left edge of the main screen, so he ends up disappearing from the screen.
    It is easy to see what is happening here: Explorer normally centers the dialog box of progression on the same screen as the Explorer window that opened the dialog box. This does not work as expected in the direction, but on the axis X to the left edge of the dialog box's get pinned to the left edge of the main screen.
    As the corner at the top left of the primary monitor is always (0,0), it acts as if the dialog box was positioned like this pseudo-code:
    monitor = getWindowMonitor (feed)
    dialog.centerOnMonitor (monitor)
    If dialog.left< 0:="">
    Dialog.Left = 0
    When the dialog box is off the screen, it's a bit disturbing, because it makes the impression that the Explorer window is locked. The only way I know to make visible the dialog box is with this exercise of the superpowers of keyboard shortcut:
    1. use Alt + space to open the system menu of the dialog box. The menu will open on the screen no matter where is the dialog box.
    2. Press m to move (or click on move).
    3. you will see a four-headed mouse cursor, just to fool you into thinking the mouse could do something now. It will not!
    4 instead of this, you have to hit any key of the arrow, which begins the displacement of the dialog box.
    5. now you can use the mouse (or the puree on the arrow keys) to move the dialog on the screen.

    A bit of good news...

    I just tested this on the latest version of Windows preview 10 technical, and it seems to be fixed.

  • My dialog windows appear off the screen... Please help

    A lot of my dialog windows styles for paragraph, or when I hang items appear off the screen (I see the bottom of the window, but not from the top which means that I can't move them) - suggestions?

    Laurie

    I tried the solution as Kipp Ky\'Eva posted, but I couldn't find an option to "Gather Windows" (after I plugged my second monitor, I saw that this dialog box was also off the screen).

    I found another solution that worked for me however:

    Go to System Preferences > monitors.

    Click on "scaling".

    Note the screen resolution you are using.

    Change the resolution of the screen to do anything and then change back to your original setting.

    For me, that reset the screen with all the windows in their places.

  • Dialog box style off the screen

    While using InDesign full screen (3440 x 1440), the object style dialog box is on the top of the screen and cannot be dragged on because the title bar is also off the screen.  The dialog box cannot be resized (who usually move it), so I'm not sure how to make visible.  Restoration of the app is not help either - the dialog box is still mostly off the screen.  In addition, the Windows key + ShiftKey + left arrow (or one of the arrows by the way) does not affect the location of the upper part of the dialog box, passes just a screen that displays the dialog by mistake on.

    The operating system is Windows 10 on a Surface Pro 3 with a monitor LG Ultrawide.

    Thank you

    Richard

    Steve,

    I contacted Adobe support, and the winning solution was to detach the Surface Pro 3 and raise InDesign with only the single monitor of 2440 x 1440.  The object Style Options of windows then jump-up in a usable place.  When I brought the Tablet, reopened InDesign and brought to the top of the window, it was still where I left it on the tablet screen and I could drag it to a site that is usable on the external monitor.  Solved the problem, but I think that it a workaround solution.  No app should place a dialog box or the same window partially off the screen in the current context of monitor/Bangkok.  Looks like a tweek for InDesign, go ahead... ;-)

    Thank you

  • When the computer starts a dialog box appears on the screen, the title of box - Windows Product Activation - it's authentic? (details below)

    The message says:-since first, windows has been activated on this computer, the computer hardware has changed a lot. Because of these changes, Windows must be reactivated within 3 days. You want to reactivate Windows now?

    That sounds like a real message, or would it be a virus?

    There are months that additional memory has been added on the hard drive.

    It looks like a real message and that activation glitch sometimes. Go ahead and turn on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Hello

    1. have there been recent changes to the computer before the show?

    I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Start your system in safe mode and check if the same problem occurs.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Method 2: If the question does not exist in Mode safe mode then try to put your computer in a clean boot state.

    By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

  • Send/receive in Windows Mail box is off the screen to the right

    Outbox send/receive in Windows Mail (Vista) used to appear at the top left of the screen.  Now, she is partially visible and on the top right of the screen.  I would like to return it where it was.  It comes to the Outbox Send/REC/WAV with the Green shows the 'streaming' line in messages and not the send/REC/WAV in a box in the toolbar.

    Right-click on the toolbar and slick on customize and control the order of the displayed icons.  Adjust them to send/receive is not the end, but where you want.  If the order is good but it still hurt shows, press the Reset button and that should restore icons in their right place (although if you have no customization, you will need to do it again).

    After further review, I know that I have responded to the toolbar tells you not what you were referring too.  I've been looking for each menu option and toolbar option I could find and you can't find any reference to any other send/receive button available in Windows Mail so that I have all the answers for you since the feature that you are discussing seems to not exist in my copy.  My only suggestion is to try to grab it with the mouse (left-click on it and hold down the left button) and see if you can move whenever you prefer it to be.  Otherwise, I have no suggestions to offer.  Do you know how to activate this box on or off (do appear or disappear) - if so, please explain how it's done.  If we can get this dialog to appear in our versions, then maybe we can find a way to solve the problem.  Have you ever installed some software enhancements 3rd party Windows Mail which could include this as a feature?

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Why all the dialog boxes appear in the upper left corner?

    Is this a bug? I can't find a way to make them appear in the Center, as it has always and in any other on creative application. The last update does not solve it...

    And reset your illustrator preferences. CMD-Opt-Ctrl-Shift when you restart HAVE on Mac or Ctrl-Alt-Shift on PC

  • Black box appears on the screen, don't know why.

    Don't know what I did, but this just black bar appears on my screen of firefox and I can't seem to go in. Make a right click on it does not work. I tried to restart my computer and restart firefox, but that did nothing.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

  • Locate the media dialog box appears

    I say cloud creative to update to the latest version of Premiere Pro yesterday and now when I open a project that needs to search for media, dialog "Find media" does not appear, and I'm not able to click on any of the items of the menu bar.  The only thing I see is the black background of the program of Premiere Pro and Windows makes the sound with that is when you try to click on a program outside of an open dialog box that you are not interacting.  So first is not frozen, it is simply not display the dialog box.  I checked to make sure he's not hiding behind other programs, and I have not all other monitors hung.  Any thoughts?

    I had this problem as well. What are the causes that is in your DOCUMENTS folder, there is an ADOBE folder with a folder of PREMIERE PRO inside. It has a number of records for each version of first (6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0). There are some config or files in the folder corresponding to your version that causes the link media dialog box to not appear. If you create an OLD folder and move all those here, the next time that you open a project that ran out of media, it recreates the version number and media link will be displayed correctly.

    In my case, I installed 2015.2, so she recreated 9.0 and later, everything was fine... There is no newer version that I can go to, so the upgrade is not the answer and you do not want to reinstall the creative cloud or windows.

    Also, when the first appears to hang when the media location bar is completed, it is not actually frozen. If you press ESC, it will take you to the program. It's almost the link media dialog box is open, but off the screen, somewhere, so pressing ESC closed this window invisible and everything is displayed. But media link still does not work, and you can just press ESC to ignore it.
