window and dual monitor problem

[3mors]

recently i used dual screen and i moved a window (alchemyTV window) to the other monitor

now i have only a monitor and the window remains outside it.
i can hear the sound and if i use expose, it is showed on my monitor, but when i click on it, the window goes outside

i have no other monitor now
do u know how to fix it without losing preferences?

Did you use the "detect screen" option in the System Preferences and Screen to let your system know there is just one screen now? Just unplugging the screen is not enough.

i know, system shows me that only one monitor is plugged
it's right

as a matter of fact the mouse arrow stops to the right limit of the monitor

That's particularly peculiar behaviour (as you clearly realise) - it never does that for me.

...as a temporary fix, couldn't you just plug the other monitor back in, and move the window across that way?


From what I can tell, the program has its own recorded values within the program that store the window location and size, I would imagine, in four values: x, y, width, height.

Imagine this:

You have your primary monitor to the immediate left of an external secondary monitor. Say your primary monitor has a resolution of 800*600px, and so does your secondary monitor.

If you move the window into the second monitor, such that it's at (30, 30) of the second monitor, the program may well record that as (830, 30), and, as such, when it saves that information, you will forever be opening the window outside the bounds of the viewable res.

It's not a solution, but a possible explanation.

i know what is the behaviour of windows on finder

i'm only looking for a possible solution
if i could plug the other monitor, i would have already done it

Try the following:
find and delete all instances of :
com.apple.bezelservices.plist
also com.apple.windowserver.plist

then restart your system.

look in your username/Library/preferences/ for a folder for alchemyTV, which could be moved out of your preferences folder, relaunch the app, and set the windows for how you like (should be returned to original defaults) this last step may fix it, but do the others if necessary.

i went to my neighbour and he gave me his monitor for few minutes
