problem solved...., posting from pc now. was able to drag the ccc over to extended desktop after about 100 blind clicks and drags. very annoying. is there a simple fix for this so that i know for the future?

Hehe, this was a popular issue when dual monitors weren't as popular (late 90's/early 2k)...

1. alt+tab to the app
2. alt+space
3. m
4. arrow key (any direction)
5. move mouse around

This should work in most cases.

I still use that when running dual monitors. Sometimes a window will pop up too high and your not able to grab the bar at the top of that window to drag it down.

1. alt+space
2. m
3. arrow key (hit down arrow)
4. enter

This works good everytime hehe

ahhh, thank you enginurd and hardwareguru. i just tried this and practiced a bit just incase it happens again.

this will probably end up saving me a decent amount of frustration in the future.

thanks guys.
