[RBASE-L] - re: rbase will not start

[Doug Hamilton]

I had a similar symptoms with RB 7.6.  RBase is running, as you confirmed, but somehow the registry settings for the top and left get corrupted on very rare occasions- to the extent that for me, the db explorer had coordinates for being in the next room. If you're comfortable hackin' away at the registry, you might try to find "RBTI" (or "RBase" or "RBG") and poke around there for "top" and "left" settings. (Disclaimer: try at your own risk) If you are starting with a user menu, by pass that and go right to the DB Explorer and see what happens. If you are starting RBase and going right to the DB Explorer, try Dennis's suggestion and start maximized. I doubt if it's R:Base.  I'm running dual monitors on a Win 2k machine - the trailing edge of technology, so who knows what happened. Doug Followup: I just scanned my registry and found that monitor software also stored window locations. For RBG7.x, I found: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\R:BASE Technologies\RBG7\Main Window  that had entries for Height, Left, Top and Width -  736, 30, 18 and 951 respectively, which seem like reasonable pixel dimensions.

Rights ?   I have have Rbase up and running on 4 other PC's without any trouble.   Using Win 7 and Rbase 9.0_64.   Luc D.
