Safari launches but hides window

Question

Okay, I just came home a week or so ago to find out that my mother can't use safari on her computer. Meanwhile, I have no problem using it on mine, a laptop running windows vista.
My mother had gotten a new computer, HP 2009m, as it says on the monitor. She's tried removing Safari and redownloading it and that doesn't work.
It'll open Safari up, but it flies off to the right of the monitor and hides from view, even though you can preview it in the menu bar at the bottom of the screen. she isn't having this problem with any other browsers.

Answer 1

No problem.
If it's a new PC, I'm assuming she won't have any Bookmarks or Top Sites to speak of (especially if the browser has been grumpy from an early stage of proceedings). So I'd be inclined to go for the "so much for subtlety" approach and clear out all of the Safari settings and preferences files for her usual user account on the PC.
On Windows 7, I'd use the following procedure.
(1) Quit Safari if you have it open
(2) Go *Start > Open.*
(3) In the Organize menu, click *Folder and Search Options.*
(4) Click the View tab.
(5) Make sure that *Show hidden files and folders* is selected.
(6) Click OK.
(7) Go *Start > Computer.*
(8) In Computer open *Local Disk C:*
(9) Open the Users folder.
(10) Open the folder with the name of the Windows 7 user account in which Safari isn't displaying properly.
(11) Open the AppData folder.
(12) Open the Roaming folder.
(13) Open the *Apple Computer* folder.
(14) Rename the Safari folder "Safari1" and drag it out onto the Desktop.
(15) Open the Preferences folder.
(16) Drag the com.apple.Safari plist file out onto the Desktop.
(17) Go back into the AppData folder.
(18) Open the Local folder.
(19) Open the *Apple Computer* folder.
(20) Rename the Safari folder "Safari2" and drag it out onto the Desktop.
Now launch Safari again. This should rebuild those preference files/folders. (The welcome to Safari thingy will probably play again .)
Does Safari display normally this time?
