When in schema browser and choosing to Alter User, Toad hangs up. Altering other objects does not affect Toad.
In general features/tools that open as a seperate popup window may seem to hang Toad or the window you're expecting doesn't appear at all.
The pop up window is off screen and cannot be seen.
Toad may not be hung. The pop up window is not accessible and holds focus, so a user cannot access to the main Toad window.
RESOLUTION 1:
1. Assess the feature/tool so it will open it's seperate window.
2. Click Alt+Space bar. A window menu will pop up. Take note if it appears to the right or left of the screen. Do not navigate anywhere else or click on anything else.
3. Click M (M for Move).
4. Use the arrow buttons to move right or left. Depending on where the window menu appeared, that is the side of the screen that the Alter User window is located.
If the menu appears to the right of the screen, use the left arrow button to move the window left, and into the viewable screen. If the menu appears on the left of the screen, use the right arrow button to move the window right, and ito the viewable screen.
RESOLUTION 2:
Reset application data directory to rest setting.
i.e. in Toad 9.7 and higher... C:\Documents and Settings\<personal folder>\Application Data\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\<version>\User Files
