Manually editing the eq2_uisettings.xml file?

My problem is every time I start the game and go to get a new quest, the new quest window opens at the very bottom of the screen and I have to drag it up in the middle. Once I drag it up, it will stay there for the duration of my game play, even if I zone. I will save_uisettings but if I log out and log back in, it's back at the bottom of the screen.

I have narrowed the problem down to the Server_Charname_eq2_uisettings.xml file. I loaded up a brand new install of the game and the only thing I imported was the xml file and the problem persisted. I do not want to have to set up my whole new layout as I spent hours on aligning my bags and bank boxes and hot bars, etc, etc, etc.

So I'm thinking if I can just edit the xml file and manually set the coordinates for this window I will be set. I opened this file and see several different elements as displayed below:

<Window Name="Breath" alignment="5" alignment_offset="108,-286
<Window Name="Browser" alignment="8" alignment_offset="27,-73"
<Window Name="Casting" alignment="5" alignment_offset="107,-31
<Window Name="ChatOptions" alignment="7" alignment_offset="94,
<Window Name="Clock" alignment="3" alignment_offset="-293,-16"
<Window Name="Compass" alignment="1" alignment_offset="-321,1"

This is just a small subset of the file with easy to determine names. I just can't figure out which of the other element(s) in that file would control the location of the NEW QUEST WINDOW.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I believe the window that offers quests is called "RewardPack." It's interesting that you post about this, because I have one character that for the past few days has this same thing happening -- the new quest window keeps moving down the screen. Other characters don't seem to have this problem. /shrug
