I accidentally unchecked the box for Run in Window. Now my SL is in such a small window on my screen, i cannot get at the Apply button in preferences to change it back. Also I cannot move the Prefs window up far enough to get at that button.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Crystalrose

I thought there was a keyboard shortcut to toggle between windowed and full screen mode.. Er.. ALT-Enter maybe?

Try pressing ALT-Enter. That should toggle between full screen and a window.

When I run in a window, I can simply resize it by dragging the corner, like any other window. Is that not working for you?

Are you saying it's too small when in full screen mode? That sounds pretty odd.
In any case, if you can't physically reach the button, you can tab over to it, and then hit Enter to press it. Here's the easiest way to do that. First, uncheck Custom, to get rid of most of the tab stops on the screen. This will make it easier to count the number of times you press the Tab key. Next, click on "Run Second Life in a window", just to set the cursor at an easy start location. If clicking it unchecks it, just click it again. Now press the Tab key 8 times. The eighth tab stop will be the Apply button. Hit Enter, and you should be all set. _____________________
