Power Point 2007 won't restore down

A new behavior has cropped up in PowerPoint 2007 under Vista Ultimate on a
"Santa Rosa" Asus Laptop F3Sv with a Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS - 256 MB
dedicated video memory 767 shared. When I try to restore down, the window
seems to "fly" to the top of the screen and disappear. When I click the tab
on the task bar, it "flies" down and appears to minimize. If I click restore,
it flies back up and disappears again. If I click "maximize", it shows back
up. Problem is that if I want to move it to another monitor on the extended
desktop, I can't. The only way is to make the desired monitor the primary.
This happens whether or not I have two monitors connected to the PC. I've
tried setting the adapter to one monitor while both were connected but the
behavior persists.

This sounds like something that used to happen to me once in a while.
Sometimes it was just a particular goofy app, sometimes it was a video/mouse
conflict that made the mouse go wild once in a while.

Result: an app would get its window parked way off the visible screen.

Fix: when the app is in windowed state (not maximized, not on the taskbar)
press Alt+Spacebar then M. Now you can move the window around with the arrow
keys. Once it's back where you want it, or at least has the title bar on
screen so you can grab it with the mouse, press ESC.
