New Item dialog box moving

I have had a problem with dialog boxes moving every time it opens.  Eventually it runs off the top left corner of the screen if you fail to pull it down.  My new item box is now far enough off the screen that I cannot see the top bar to be able to pull it back down.  Has anyone else had this problem? How do I fix the moving problem and how can I get the box back now?

Happy to have you here in the Community, @StoreyM. I can help you with fixing your displays in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

To sort out this matter, we can run a QuickBooks Tool Hub. This helps fix common errors. To use the tool hub, you must first close QuickBooks. Then let’s proceed with downloading the program to your computer. Here’s how:

 

  1. Close QBDT.
  2. Download the most recent version of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Save it somewhere you can easily find it (like your Downloads folder or your Windows desktop).
  3. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
  4. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
  5. Double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub once the installation is complete.

 

Once done, we can then proceed to the steps to fix common errors by running a Quick Fix my program. QuickBooks will shut down any open background processes as a result of the Quick Fix. It will make a quick fix to your program. I’ll show you how:

 

  1. Select Program Problems from the QuickBooks Tool Hub.
  2. Select Quick Fix my Program.
  3. Open your data file in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

If something went wrong during the installation of QuickBooks, it may cause issues when you try to utilize it. To resolve typical installation errors, use the QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool. You can refer to Solution 2: Run the QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool from this article: Repair your QuickBooks Desktop for Windows.

 

Let me know if you need further assistance with your displays. The Community always has your back. Have a great day!

this is also my problem on QB Enterprise Solutions 24.0.  the add item box is outside the screen and i cannot grab to pull it down.  same problem from 2022???? you can't fix this by now? that is ridiculous.  for the amount of money you blackmailed me into purchasing enterprise 24.0, you'd think you could fix a known problem.

 

I've tried all of the steps above and they did not work.  JUST LIKE THEY DIDN'T WORK IN 2022 for the original poster. Are you sure you should be in the account software business?
