This is very strange.  One possibility is that someone set the loc of the
card window to a bizarre value.  HyperCard 2.0 saves the location of
the card window in a stack whenever it changes, and when that stack is
opened again, the card window is moved to the saved location.  It's
pretty smart about monitor size, but if, on a screen that's 512x342,
just as yours is, if the loc of the card window is set to 10000,10000,
then that's where the card window will go, and that's where it will
go the next time that stack is opened on a screen of the same size.

Try typing 'set the loc of card window to 0,0' and then pressing return.

Hope this helps.
