Hi, Ben:

It's possible that the window is opening off screen. This can be
caused by lowering your screen resolution, or changing to a smaller
monitor, between the time you closed FM with the window far
off-center, and opening FM in the smaller screen.

Have you tried using the Windows control menu - the one that comes up
when you click the icon in the top-left corner of the application's
(FM's) menu bar, choosing Move, then using the cursor arrow keys to
move a possibly-off-screen structure window bqck "home?" The structure
window may be to the left, right, top, or bottom.

I believe the window settings are saved in one of the maker.ini files
(there are two, one for user, one for application; use Windows Search
to find them. Make a safety copy, then pen in a text editor or FM and
look for windows location settings: four pairs of numbers separated by
commas, to define the corner locations. I think if you change the
first one to 10,10  it locates the top-left corner ten pixels down and
ten pixels in from the left. Save the file - IF IN FM, REMEMBER TO
SAVE AS TEXT! Quit and restart FM. If this messes things up, rename
maker.ini to xmaker.ini, and rename the safety copy to maker.ini, then
restart FM.

HTH


Regards,

Peter
