I made an error I can't seem to undo. I was playing the game in windowed mode and an emergency came up where had to check something on my desktop quickly. I pushed the game to the left side of the screen quickly (too far). When the emergency was over I tried to drag the game back center screen and it would not budge.

I tried every way I knew and it still would not move back. I can see about 1/5th of the picture. I attempted a reboot that night. When I started the game again the screen remained in the exact same location. I was still unable to move it back to it's proper place. The into plays fine and goes right into the startup screen. I'm sure the game itself would play fine if I could access any of the buttons.

I put it away and figured that I would figure it out later. It is now later and I still haven't found the solution.

What step am I missing?

Hi.
In which Windows version is Panzer Corps installed?
Do you know how to edit Windows registry?

I have Windows 7 on a 3 year old Toshiba laptop.

I'm not an expert, but I have played around and deleted things in the registry on older computers.

Great. :)

You need to open your Windows registry and search for:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Slitherine\Panzer Corps

Inside Panzer Corps folder you'll find a field name called "WindowPos". Delete it. Once you start Panzer Corps, the game will create a tiny new one window in the centre of the screen which then you can resize at your own will.
