    Reinstalling POL viewer but not FFXI

    Just wondering, does anyone know how to reinstall the Playonline without reinstalling FFXI along with it?

    Around a year ago I don't know what I did and resized the window to the point of nothingness so I'm forced to start it up in full screen mode all the time. Finally got annoying enough that I want to fix it but don't really want to spend 5 hours reinstalling everything and updating.

    Re: Reinstalling POL viewer but not FFXI

    Its resized and not moved offscreen?

    at work right now, so can't test if it works on POL window but

    1: press and hold the alt key
    2: press the space bar

    you should get a menu that lets you Restore, Move, Resize, Minimize, Maximize, and close the current window your on. If you see the menu, just move it and press the arrow keys till you see the thing again.

    If you dont see the menu it's either off screen and/or resized . If you dont see the menu first try moving it, which is ALT+Space then M, then WITHOUT MOVING the mouse click and hold the left cursor until you see the arrow. The reason you dont want to move is because when you choose the move option is focus' the mouse on the center part of the window, so even if its minimized as little as possible you'll still be able to click it.

    hope that helped.

    Hummm, thanks for the idea but didn't work. Alt+Spacebar+M doesn't work for POL. Although I can do the same effect by right clicking the POL viewer on the taskbar it just moves my mouse to the very top left corner of my screen but still can't select it. Size doesn't work either, I can just barely touch it (I guess) since it shows the resize icon, but I can't click it. Might be easier if I had a second monitor and can go off screen, but atm it looks like I can't reach it.

    Haha, never mind, I figured out how now.

    For the record, if anyone else ever has a problem like this.

    1) Right click the Playonline viewer on the taskbar
    2) Choose Move
    3) Without moving the mouse, just press the arrow keys until you find it

    Just spent the last hour trying to find the hidden Pol menu and move it back on the screen. Was obvious it was hidden since the keyboard command were working fine, but damn...that's a lot of time to figure out how to move a window.
