windows, pop ups open on left hand side of screen

Hi there,

I am having some annoying problems with Vista x86. Whenever I open a window in Windows Live Messenger they open all the way on the left side of the screen. Even when I close it in the centre. I do not think it's a problem with Messenger as all windows in Vista open in the left hand side for me like when I edit "Taskbar and Start Menu properties", "Adjust windows time". All pop ups in explorer also open all the way in the left hand side. It seems that somehow the alignment has shifted to the left hand side. Can someone please help me as I would like to have them open in the centre rather than the left.

Thanks.

Hi, joshnz.

What is your screen resolution? Maybe those windows "think" they are in the
center.

Screen resolution is 1280x800. Funny thing is that this problem was not happening 2 weeks ago. I do not know what has changed between then and now. I have absolutely changed nothing.

Every window seems to be hugging the left hand side and opening there. Even the UAC confirmation is over on the left hand side now. I really do not know why it's doing that.

Thanks for your reply.
