Sleepyhead problem [getting out of full-screen mode]

Sleepyhead problem [getting out of full-screen mode]
I have been using Sleepyhead successfully for some time.  This time, I was going to do a screen print so I hit F11 on my Windows computer.  I'm not sure if it immediately worked or not to provide a full screen - I may have hit F11 another time as well.  I then hit F12 to make the screen shot.  Ever since then Sleepyhead is locked into the full screen mode I think.  This is what I get:

When Sleepyhead is open on the screen:
I cannot access my menu bar for windows.
I cannot close Sleepyhead - I have to do a Ctrl-Shift-Esc to bring up the task manager and then end task
The Minimize, expand and close icons in top right corner are missing
The menu at the top of Sleepyhead (File +....) although does get highlighted when the cursor is on it but no action can be taken.
I can use the secondary menu bar to select Daily, Statistics, Overall etc
When I try F12 the first time, it brings up a previous page, not the current one showing.  The second time works properly
Closing and reopening Sleephead does not change the problem

Any suggestions?

Thanks 

Doug

Other members have had luck holding FN & F11 for a couple of seconds to exit full screen mode.

RE: Sleepyhead problem
I had tried F11 again a number of times.  I don't have FN on my keyboard, but I did hold down F11 for a few seconds.  The screen flashed a few times and from then on F11 worked normally.

Thanks for the help!
