Glad you got this fixed...there was a similar problem a while back
where the Skills window would get set to the bottom left hand corner of
the screen, and thus be basically completely invisible and unreachable.
The drastic solution was to delete the UI file, the best one was to
just change those coordinates to accessible ones.

Game on,

Not sure which file it is, but you should be able to edit the file that
has the window positions, and change it manually. Have not had to deal
with this yet personally, so can't say for certain.

Another possible solution is to load an alternate UI, and unclick the
keep current layout (or whatever it is called), then reload the UI he
wants to use. Not sure what that will do to positioning off hand though.

I managed to fix it in just this manner, after trying loading UI's and
whatnot. We noticed that only one of his characters had the stuck map
window, so figured it was his UI_{charname}_{server} file, in his
Everquest root directory, that was messed. Sure enough, his "X"
number was 430 and his "Y" was -41, compared to my 10 and 19,
respectively, so we edited the file, saved it, and everything was fine
after that

Aye, we were going to do this next, if the edit hadn't worked, so I'm
not sure either...

Thanks for your assistance!
