Default Condensation (fogging) in double-pane window

I have a sliding double-pane window in my bedroom that is fogged up from
condensation between the panes. I am reading that I can either replace
the whole window, have the glass replaced, or try a new treatment that
removes the condensation. Now sure which one I will go with although it
is cheapest to just have the condensation removed. Anyway, I am having
trouble getting the sliding window off. It doesn't just lift out as I
expected. And I don't see any screws to loosen on the side panels. Any
ideas? Thanks.

Normallly they lift out by sliding 1/2 way open. I have the same
problem, seems the framing has swelled/shifted/something enough that
it won't clear the track. Same on a patio slider - took 2 guys from
the window company and me to force it enough to get it out of the
track.

If you have the glass replaced, the window company will do the job at
your house.

I have never heard of removing the condensation other than from
obvious snake oil sites. To be successful, after the removal then the
broken portion of the seal has to be resealed somehow.
