To move the active windows when you cannot reach the title bar with
the mouse cursor, press and release <ALT>+<SPACE> and then press <M>.
You can now use the cursor arrow keys to move the display settings
dialog window back to the desired location. When the box is located
where you want it, press <Enter>.

Then right-click the Desktop, Select Personalize > Display Settings,
and choose a resolution appropriate for the monitor. (It is also
necessary that the proper display adapter drivers be installed, of course.)
