Default Got a problem with 3DStudio Max

So I'm giving 3D S Max a go again. Having one small issue, though...when I start up 3D S Max, it runs fine, but if I try to make it anything other than full screen, shit his the fan.

What seems to happen is it windows itself OFF my desktop completely, and not even using the "Move" command window's gives me will help me.

Any idea how I can reset it? It's difficult to have to flip back and forth between tutorial and work.

Funny

When I click "Windowed Mode", between the X and the -, the app disapears, as if it is windowing to a location off of my desktop.

A screen shot would look like my desktop, complete with a scantily clad half asian woman.

Yeah, it's still running (and I can maximize it again); it's just inconvenient. Gonna give it a reinstall and see if that helps (Will also get rid of a few annoying add-ons I downloaded).

That's what I was thinking HP, sounds like Max thinks he has a 2nd screen.
