Nothing like a fresh restart to make things better...lol

The other alternative is what I have...If you have an old 15, 17, or 19 
inch monitor laying around (or pick up a cheap $75 flat screen) and add 
the second monitor.  You set WoW to play in the nice / big one and use 
the other for everythign else.  I can't imagine using only one monitor 
now.  It's nice looking up info, setting vent for raids, browsing the 
web waiting for a queue, etc.   I use a 24" Asus Gaming monitor for 
playing, and my older 21" Dell rotated vertical next to it...

Just personal opinion of course....  :)
