Daphne stays minimized when Started! Help!
« on: February 07, 2008, 07:40:05 pm »
Hi,

I am using Daphne version 0.99.6c for win32 in Windows XP.

For some odd Reason, when I double-click on the Daphne icon to start the DaphneLoader.exe program it ALWAYS starts minimized. If I click on my taskbar where the program is minimized it does not do anything. The only way I can get it to restore or maximize is if I right click the daphne program on the taskbar and select restore. Then the Daphne loader becomes full screen and I am able to double-click on a game to start it. The game runs perfectly.

Normally, I would not be too concerned but unfortunately, it is preventing the Daphne program from executing properly in my Front End for my arcade. (It starts minimized and the game will not run).

Any ideas why it's behaving this way? I'm sure if I solve the minimizing problem, my Front End will work just fine. I am using Maximus Arcade (ver 2.10b) as my Front End.

Thanks in advance!

Maximus has two pages for the emulator that determine the window behaviour.  I believe the options are maximized, minimized and hidden.  My understanding is you're supposed to pick hidden.

Do that for both entries and that should resolve it.
