In the future, do this to "recover" lost-off-screen windows. (It happens to me all the time with stoopid Windows Photo Viewer....)

0) Try to assure that the window in question has "focus." I.e. It is selected somehow.

1) Press <ALT>+<SPACEBAR>. This will open the regular Windows menu for moving the window to another place. If, when you press <ALT>+<SPACEBAR>, you cannot see the Window, you only see the popup menu, press <DOWN ARROW> once and then <ENTER>.

2) Now you can use the arrow keys to move the window to a position where you can see it.

You might want to exit the window NOW, and restart the application to assure that it remembers the new ON-SCREEN position tho!  :doh:

Voila!

*EDIT*

Ah... nvm.

You can set up what is called a hotkey, basically when you push that button, it "mutes and unmutes" your microphone input with vent.
Basically, we will get it to work don't worry. Theres even a way to make a key to mute your mic completely on vent =]

To JOIN an existing Ventrilo server, see the ("Client") instructions link in first line of the first post in this thread.

Also, see this tutorial which has additional, somewhat more descriptive/specific instructions, too.

To install and start YOUR OWN Ventrilo server, well, that's a bit more involved, but the instructions are on that same Ventrilo page, under "Server...."

OK, I was reading the thread (I did apply, and if I ever decide I want to use ventrilio, it's good to know this stuff), and I saw how Skype and similar programs can mess it up.

What if Skype isn't actually running? I don't use it often enough to put it in my "Internet Comminucations" RocketDock stack.

To the best of my knowledge, it only needs to be installed to be a conflict/problem. It CAN be worked around, tho, by setting the Input Device in Ventrilo to your actual HW audio device, and setting Skype to use DirectSound Input....

Heh, I just now got around to setting Skype up like that (remember, be prepared, because those zombies AREN'T going to kill themselves!), and I encountered a problem.

Skype and/or Vista has foiled our plans by not showing "DirectSound Input"

GAH!


I tried looking around and No Joy!  :embarrassed:


I even went looking for the 1-2 YEAR old info I dug up about it when someone (Petra.  Anyone reading this remember her?!?  :o ) had this problem, and I'm sure that was the fix, but then... there was no VISTA then....

Sry, you said the magic word: I'm no help on this one.  (No spreken zee Vista...)

Sry....  :'(

Since Mxy doesnt speek Vista, Ill do my best,I know that Ventrilo does show DirectSound Input and im running on Vista, Premium(basic does as well), so i am assuming that Skype is your problem, possibly take a look at some forums for skype or some FaQ's.
Sorry that im not providing links to things, but it is very late here and I need to get off, so if I get the chance in the morning ill add some links for you to check out that might help you,

It's fine, I'd put Vent on the XP box where Halo is, but my Vista laptop is the one with the mic.
