AutoCAD 2008: When Dialog Boxes Don't Appear

Dialog boxes from Layer Manager, Xref or any other commands that pops out "on-demand" dialog boxes, sometimes they can't be found on the screen.

What happened is, it seems the dialog box did'nt appear, but actually it's floating somewhere on the screen.
This bug usually happens when Cadmonks uses dual or multi screen monitors for their computers, then use it on a single monitor, then back again to using dual or multi screen
monitors.

The fix:

Click Alt key and then Spacebar.


Then this dialog box appear.


Choose the move, and by using your arrow keys place the out of sight "dialog box" towards the center of
your screen.
Then you're suppose to see the dialog box.
That's it.
Enjoy cadding on multi-monitors.
I recommend that you should at least use two monitors.

I am Steve Jobs' $200 Iphone Beta Tester

Steve Jobs' announcement of $200 price cut on Apple's Iphone last Tuesday Sept 5th made me officially a $200 Iphone Beta Tester.

After barely two months after the release, I found the hardway, that never ever buy any Apple products on it's RELEASE DAY. I would be a puss(excuse me) if I allow myself to be a Steve Job's Beta Tester again.

Well, anyway these Apple guys announced their $100 store credit for us Beta Testers. But that $100 store credit is good only on your next purchase at your nearest Apple Stores or Apple online stores.

So that's good I guess, because I'm planning to use that $100 to buy that $399 Iphone, and get rid of that $599 "I got screwed" Iphone (which I hope to return, it's just two months of use, right?).

It would be nice if all the "$200 Beta Testers" will do the same and say our thanks to Mr "Businessman" Steve Jobs.
