At work, I have my Thinkpad notebook computer connected up to a 21" external monitor so that the external monitor acts as an extension of my desktop.
I have a problem with restarting MCP 2.0 if it was last used with the window on the external monitor... And the monitor is no longer connected. Basically, MCP seems to open on the phantom extended desktop where I cannot see it or work on it.
Here is what seems to be happening:
If I remember to drag the MCP window back on to the notebook's internal screen before shutting down MCP, then I have no problem when I restart MCP without the external monitor attached. [I hope my explanation of the problem is clear ]

We will look into possible fix for that. In the meantime, you can hover over Mathcad icon in the taskbar, right-mouse-click on active Mathcad window, select move and hit one of the arrow keys. Mathcad window should snap into view. I know this sounds a bit convoluted, but that's how Windows lets you recover in this situation.
Hope this helps,

Is the fact that "move" and "size" are grayed out when I do that because my paranoid IT group has disabled something?

Usually that means that the applications runs with maximized (full screen) window.
My mother-in-law has had this problem with her laptop computer. It stems from the video driver. For some reason, the driver thinks it's still connected. When this happens, she needs to go into her video settings a "force" the single monitor mode. It then "snaps" her programs (e.g. Word, Adobe, IE, etc.) back to her laptop monitor.
Even in my paranoid IT group, I can force my video driver to one screen. I have not seen the "move" or "size" grayed out.
