Restore Down Problem

[tmgibs]

When I use the 'restore down' button in Outlook 2007 it minimizes and
disappears off the screen. In order to bring it back into view again I have
to right click on the application in the task bar and choose maximize. Hide
when minimized is not selected and selecting and deselecting this option does
not fix the problem. I only have two modes, minimized and maximized. I am not
sure what may have cause this problem. Nothing other than 'Maximize' when
right clicking on the application in the taskbar makes the application
visible after it disappears during "restore down".

Sounds like the Outlook window is off the screen. Right-click the Taskbar
handle for Outlook, choose Move, then tap an arrow key. The mouse should
connect to the title bar of the off-screen window. Move the mouse around
and you should be able to bring your window back onto the screen.

That wasn't it.

I believe that somehow Outlook is stuck in "Hide When Minimized" even though
I have never selected that option. I would be amenable to permanently
discarding that feature so I can restore down.

If you see a handle on the Taskbar, it's not the "Hide When Minimized"
feature.

Thank You this worked great. It was a bit tricky because the title bar
turned out to be the same color as my background. Soon as I restore to
default theme I was able to do this.
