Wierd issue with running spybot

I notice that when I go to run spybot it appears off the left side of my monitor, completely out of view. I am unable to move it back to my view to use it. Any ideas on how to change the monitor location spybot opens up at? Any assistance would be appreciated.

The Spybot's window attributes are stored in the systems registry. Since I can not attach a .reg file in this forum, I have attached .zip file that contains a .reg file to reset the Spybot window attributes to their default values. The content of the .reg file is as follows:

Code: 
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PepiMK Software\SpybotSnD\Window]
"Left"=dword:000000c0
"Top"=dword:000000a4
"Width"=dword:00000280
"Height"=dword:000001b8
"WindowState"=dword:00000000
Instructions:
  • Exit Spybot-S&D.
  • Download the attached Spybot_Window default.zip file.
  • Unzip (extract) the Spybot_Window default.zip. This will produce a Spybot_Window default.reg file
  • Double click on Spybot_Window default.reg file.
  • Answer "Yes" then "OK" to the messages received.
  • Start Spybot-S&D.
 
Much thanx. I think my system got messed up previously due to a dual monitor setup. Thank you for your assistance!
