Can't move window.
I'm playing Skyrim in a window, but I can't move it around. It's stuck in the left corner which is super annoying. I'm guessing there's no way this can be fixed is there?

Why window mode? For the performance increase? If so, this mod will allow you to play in full screen borderless windowed mode.

Since it requires SKSE, set up the memory tweak for it.

There's an easy fix for this. Open another, smaller window that doesn't cover up the Skyrim window, and bring it to focus. Move your mouse over the bar at the top of the Skyrim window. Click and drag.

It seems simple, but you can't move the window when Skyrim is focused, as it'll lock your cursor to the window.

Thanks, That worked. I was trying to do that but I didn't know it was still focused on the game. Thanks!

I did this and I worked exactly once and never again.
Please help. I prefer windowed mode and I can't take the not centered window much longer.

- open file: skyrim.ini
- insert lines:
iLocation X=277
iLocation Y=216

- this numbers center skyrim window for monitor resolution 1920x1200 and game resolutions 1366x768.
- you can/must calculate your numbers with formula: (monitor res. - game res.) /2

for example:
(1920-1366)/2 = 277
(1200-768)/2 = 216
