Window maximizing off screen

I can't play starcraft 2 at the moment because when I open the game, it opens in windowed fullscreen off the right side of my desktop. I'm running two monitors, but for some reason it opens on my main desktop monitor and then is positioned far off to the right.

Basically, the window is way outside my desktop and I can't see it or access it (but it does appear on the taskbar). Help?

I can't get to the SC2 settings because the window is offscreen. But yes, I do have widescreen monitors.

Does anyone know if the default window position is editable in some config file or something?

I'd suggest two things. One would be going into your settings and changing which monitor is the primary. if that doesn't work then disconnect the second monitor. I've lost parts of photoshop off of the screen like that and those two things have solved it every time.

try pressing windows key + shift + left arrow (or right depending on which your main monitor is)

if not, you'll have to go edit the config files in my documents to make it windowed and movable

also, if you disable the second monitor it will open on your primary one
