Activity monitor question

[rrmalik]

I usually have the floating CPU window displaying on some part of my monitor. However, that floating window has recently disappeared. When I try to get it to reappear (right clicking on the activity monitor icon on the dock, going to Monitors, then Floating CPU Window, and then clicking horizontal), nothing appears.

I am at a loss... any help?

Thanks a bunch.

Did you accidentally move the window off screen at some point? The floating window remembers it's position. Try deleting the com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist file in ~/Library/Preferences/

Or try Expose to see if the window at least appears.

Unfortunately that won't work as the floating window gets hidden when you activate Exposé.

I tried deleting that file but to no avail. Are there any other solutions if I indeed accidentally dragged the floating window off-screen (which seems very possible to me)?

Thanks for the replies.

Did you delete the file when Activity Monitor was running? If so try it again when Activity Monitor is closed.

Ah, that did it.

Thanks.
