Running a program on a disk and the window is stuck in the upper right hand corner, cant move it bc the menu bar is hidden, help?!

Im running a disk from a text book and the window is stuck in the corner and i cant seem to get it to move. Ive tried restarting the computer and the disk, moving it to trash, changing screen resolution, using mission control, command+M, and nothing is working. Everytime I open it up it goes back to the same location on the screen. HELP!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Remove the disc and don't use it again.

Sounds like the software on that disc is crappy software that positions the window in a specific place and doesn't allow it to be resized. There's not much you can do about that, other than just using it as-is.

Is there a Window/Zoom command? That should resize the window within the screen.

If there isn't one, that means it's probably a custom-coded educational title where the programmers created a custom interface that doesn't have standard Mac commands. And was somehow preset with that window position. If so, you could be out of luck.
