Hello! I lost my main character

Hello all,

I had that uo itch (happens a few times per year) and fired up Razor. I get passed the username/password stage, but every time I attempt to select my main character (Polar Bear), the game screen minimizes itself and, even if I see it in my windows 11 taskbar, I am unable to access it. :oops:

I am able to log in with any other character.

Thanks.

The window is not minimized, it's off screen. It's a stupid windowsism not exclusive to UO. Google "move window back on screen"

I think there's a keyboard shortcut like "windows key + left" or something.

Different procedures for different versions of Windows. You'll have to find the one that works for your version of windows.

What happens if you press: Alt + Enter

Makes windows full screen and may solve your dilema. Otherwise try changing your display settings, make everything seem smaller (Choose largest display setting available) which may have an impact on that lost window, if not... go the other way, choose the largest display setting

It really is Windows version dependent. For example, with Windows 7:

Hold shift and right-click the running program icon on the task bar at the bottom of the screen

Release shift and left-click "move". The mouse pointer will change to a four-directions pointer.

Press an arrow key once. The mouse pointer will attach to the frame of the missing window.

Finally jiggle the mouse. The window's frame will appear attached to the mouse on screen.

Position it where you want it and left-click.
