I am upgrading my computer equiptment and have re-install FireFly
However, I am having one problem.  When FireFly opens,  it's window is displayed off the screen and I can't "grab" it to move it back on the screen.  How can I correct?

When you rightclick on Firefly icon in the taskbar choose from the context menu "Maximize". Does Firefly show up then?

If yes then what probably happened is:
1. You had Firefly running on a second monitor before.
2. You had closed Firefly while it was minimized. In that case Windows will assigne coordinate that are outside of the visible screen - for left/top something like -20000/-10000 or so. I had that problem with one of my programs because I saved the coordinates also when the program was minimized.

In either case you would have to correct the values manually.

Assuming Firefly is already opened and running...

1) You can move the Firefly program window back to screen with the "Move" menuitem in the Firefly taskbar right-click menu. The" Move" menuitem is enabled when the FireFly program window is open in "Normal" windowstate.

2) If the Firefly program window is open in "Maximize" window state, right-click on the Firefly taskbar icon and select "Restore". This will put it in "Normal" windowstate.

3) With the Firefly program window open in "Normal" windowstate, right-click Firefly taskbar icon and select "Move". Windows will IMMEDIATELY put the mouse pointer be on the Firefly program window caption bar (even when it is not in view). IMMEDIATELY hold down the left mouse button and drag the Firefly program window back to viewable screen.

Edit: Do not move the mouse yet and not hitting any key, IMMEDIATELY hold down the left mouse button and drag the Firefly program window back to viewable screen.
