I read the Forum Rules on Technical Support and it said to post this stuff, so here it goes:
TeamSpeak version - 2.0.32.60
Operation System + Service packs - Windows XP Professional and Service Packs one and two
Soundcard + Driver versions - Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit, Drivers Version 5.12.0001.0314
Game - Battlefield 2 (Demo), I suppose
DirectX Version - 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
What error message do you receive? - None
How often does the error appear? - Problem has occurred every time I try to open the program after a certain thing happened (explained later on)
What did you do to resolve the problem? - Hoping to find out what I can do :)
and last but not least: Are you a hot looking girl? - I'll say "yes" if it gets the problem solved quicker

The "certain thing" is explained in the following:

Every time I open the program, the UI doesn't seem to start up at all. It flashes the icon on the bottom of the screen, as it usually does (in the area to show which folders/programs are opened), but the UI doesn't show up... It seems to have been moved off the screen completely, not load or do something I can't even think of. I can still right click on the icon in the tray and select connect, but I don't know how to navigate the choices to connect to the server without seeing the actual UI.

I've reinstalled, uninstalled and reinstalled, uninstalled, deleted any traces and reinstalled, and they didn't work. Anyone have any ideas?

Another note - Xfire did the same: When I connected to a Battlefield 2 server, the screen flickered, the game closed and the Xfire UI disappeared also. I managed to fix the problem by reinstalling it, so I don't know. I was trying to connect to bf1.team-sf.com (my clan's Battlefield 2 Demo server) and that's when TS decided not to show anymore. It can't be the server as I managed to get into it, but perhaps the game crashing in that way made the UI go somewhere I cannot reach it.

I hope this has most of the information you need, but I did post in my clan forum to ask and they can't help. For the record, my graphics drivers are completely up to date. Any help would be appreciated it (but don't suggest a computer reformat as it was my option if nothing turns up). Thanks again.

i would not worry about the bf2 demo too much as the real game code is never 100% the same as the demo , a post to EA will get this bug , if still there on the 22 nd when game gets released , fixed faster

This isn't just about the Battlefield 2 Demo. Our clan uses TS for the whole shabang; other online games, meetings, etc. So if I do not have it up and running, then I cannot play the game. It does this all the time, not with BF2... I just said BF was the cause of it in the first place, now it is in an irreversible state. If it was as simple as not playing BF2 at the same time, I would not mind, but it's not, so I do.

I now have a solution! It was as I suspected: It was just moved completely off the screen.

If anyone gets the same (unlikely) just press alt+space (this opens the menu you would get if right-clicking on the program bar), then press 'm' (to select the move thing) and then arrow keys to move it back. Once you're done, press enter and all is well!
