Lost Media Center Window

OK, so I lost my media center window today, it got stuck on the left of the screen but the mouse cursor won't go beyond that point, i'm sure this must of happened to you in other programs such as word, but at least you can restart it and the window position is reset to the center, unfortunately media center remembers the position of the window when you close it, the window works full screen, but not when it is in windowed mode, tried clicking on the taskbar button and select move but the cursor won't go beyond the edge of the screen, tried looking on the net for help but no luck, anyone know what to do?..you can find a picture of it here...

Have you tried Alt+Space then 'M' then moving it with cursors?

Change your resolution, upwards, eg. 1280x1024 > 1600x1200 etc.

Ok, I done it. thanks to a guide, I right clicked on the taskbar "Media Center" and selected move, now instead of using the mouse I used the cursor keys to move the window and it worked, so if anyone else has this problem do the same or check this guide here...
