    My copy of Trillian has somehow migrated partway off the screen, and I can no longer access the title bar to drag it back, or resize it. dragging one of the side bars has no effect. I've changed my monitor resolution, tried uninstalling/reinstalling, etc. all to no effect. any ideas? is there a preference file i can delete somewhere?

    1) right click on trillian on the bottom task bar
    2) select move
    3) user the directional buttons on your keyboard to move trillian back into screen.

    hope it works!

    You know, I used to have this problem with Trillian, too, and never thought to use the directional buttons. Nice tip!

    I use Gaim now- it's free and functions well with Yahoo.

    nice tip, unfortunately right-clicking doesn't bring up an option to "move".

    winXP Pro, trillian basic. just realized i could grab it in the lower-left corner, just to the left of the status symbol, and drag it, so i'm good now, but thanks for the help!
