Which app? Have you tried moving the preferences for this application out of the ~/Library/Preferences folder? -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

RadioShark is the app, and I checked the Preferences and was unable to locate any file for this app. I've fixed the problem by starting up from one of my external hard drives and copying the RadioShark app from here to my internal drive, replacing the old version. Rebooted and now everything is fine. The source of the problem may have been a game that I regularly play that changes the screen resolution for the game and then resets it when quitting, but today if forze and I was unable to force quit it so had to do a hard reboot. But RadioShark was no an app that had been running at that time so am unsure as to what caused the off-screen behaviour. I would very much like to know how one would get a app who is off screen back home just for future reference.

Change the resolution to showing the most pixels possible. -- john mcwilliams
