I tried a hack.

In thing.inf I changed the following:

WIXY 0 9875 9840 3492 6322
WIXY 1 9875 9840 3468 5964
WIXY 2 9875 9840 3375 6013
WIXY 3 9875 9840 3320 5924


to

WIXY 0 5875 9840 3492 6322
WIXY 1 5875 9840 3468 5964
WIXY 2 5875 9840 3375 6013
WIXY 3 5875 9840 3320 5924

That moved the windows almost back onto the screen where
I was able to close them and save the thing config normally.

Regards,

Peter
