Help! Dialog boxes opening off-screen, any way to fix?

Hi, I am using Visio 2002 Professional, creating UML drawings, and I was
using a double-monitor system. I lent my second monitor for the time being
to someone else. However, last time I used Visio, I was using I moved it
to the second monitor, and it remembered those locations for dialog boxes.
Now whenever I double click on an Visio item (specifically a UML diagram
class block) the property window displays OFF-SCREEN! This means I cannot
use Visio on my machine without reinstalling or trying to find another
monitor.

Is there anything I can do about this? This also occured when I had two
monitors, but tried to remote-desktop into this machine from another
machine. The dialog boxes would display outside of the remote-desktop
screen.

Thanks

Alt spacebar to select the control menu, then M to select move, then
use the cursor keys.
