Here is a description of the problem…

You have a laptop or other machine where you sometimes have 2 screens or monitors and at other times you only have one. Sometimes when you open the Flash CS3 IDE (more often when only using one screen but sometimes with both) The IDE or dialog boxes open way off screen. You can’t move it back and no matter what you do it won’t reset and just open on your primary (or only) screen.

The simplest solution I could find was to just delete the settings registry key

run regedit.exe and navigate to the following “folder”

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Flash 9\Settings\

you should just be able to delete the Window value or reset it but this doesn’t always work for some reason. So just delete the whole Settings folder. Don’t worry Flash will rebuild it when you restart it. If this still doesn’t work delete the whole Flash 9 tree … again Flash will rebuild it when you restart it. (as always with regedit you should back up at least this part of the registry before messing with it… Don’t say I didn’t warn you.)

This fixed my problem… YMMV
