XP is hiding windows?!?
Texasmame:
For lack of a better term, anyway.
Here's what happens - about 10% of the time when I minimize an app to the bar, when I go to maximize it by clicking on it again, it won't come forward. If I right click, I get the MINIMIZE and MOVE options. If I hit MOVE the four sided arrow thingie appears and the far top left of the screen. I have to close the app, THEN when I restart it, the window for it is fully minimized, but visible at the top left of the screen - next time it does it, I'll post a screen cap.
WTF is going on here and how do I stop it? I've googled the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- outta this to no avail. :dunno
DaveMMR:
Check your "settings" (right click desktop and choose properties) and make sure you're not running a dual-screen setup (make sure one monitor says "not active" when moused over). That used to happen to me when I ran two monitors, and what you described used to happen all the time with Adobe Photoshop (had to delete some settings file - don't know the name off hand right now).
Texasmame:
Nope, just one monitor. . .
It's like the window is there but it's so minimized you can't see or move it. :(
boykster:
sometimes can happen after a remote desktop connection session, especially if the remote client uses a different resolution. usually a restart of the app will fix it.... :dunno

Sometimes, with ATI cards, it has two inputs. Even if you have one monitor, make sure the "settings" tab doesn't think you have two.
That's probably what you meant, but I elaborated just in case.
