[Dx4win] lost packet window (found)
Thanks for the replies, I found the missing window by using the procedure mentioned by John K9EL and also written up by Kostas at https://www.mail-archive.com/dx4win@mailman.qth.net/msg21933.html.

Re: [Dx4win] lost packet window
This same thing happened to me this morning. I simply plugged in a wider monitor and the missing Spot window came into view. I then moved the Spot window into the center of the screen, unplugged the widescreen monitor and then plugged in the monitor that is not as wide. The Spot window was right there in the middle and I could move it to where I wanted. 73, Dave, N4QS -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Tim moore Sent: Monday, December 23, 2019 3:02 PM To: John K9EL Cc: DX4WIN Reflector Subject: Re: [Dx4win] lost packet window This is exactly what I talked about doing in my email, and as I said earlier, it did NOT work for me.

Go to your SAVE folder. Open config.txt in a text editor. Scroll down towards the bottom and look for [W-PACK] Change LEFT to 0 Change TOP to 0 Save the changes. Close DX4Win Open DX4Win and the packet window should be in the upper left hand corner of your screen. Re-position to your favorite spot.

Re: [Dx4win] lost packet window
When I added a second monitor and then later removed it, I lost both the packet window and the spot window (which I'd moved both windows to the 2nd monitor). I tried editing the config file like an earlier email suggested to move the windows, but no joy. In the end, I had to reattach the second monitor...move the 2 windows back to the first monitor, and then remove the 2nd monitor again.

Re: [Dx4win] lost packet window
Hello Ed, The packet window is most likely hiding behind some other window. Once you find it, write a new config.txt file. This is where the screen settings are kept.

Re: [Dx4win] Lost packet window FOUND! See solution!
You guys are great and I think many of your answers were pointing in the correct direction. The answer from Kostas ( see below ) rang the bell!! I use dual monitors and DX4WIN is always displayed in the same position on just one of the two monitors. To make this happen I had gone to File>Preferences>Screen and checked "Leave all windows in original position". This works great and is really a function I want; however, I must have somehow gotten the packet window completely off the screen and of course it was destined to stay there as long as the box was checked and saved. I did what Kostas said and unchecked box, saved and restarted DX4WIN--and low and behold up popped the missing packet window! I highly recommend the "Leave all windows in original position" function if you get the windows where you like them, BUT if you want to change those positions or in my case find a missing window--don't forget to uncheck the box and reposition the layout. Again thanks to ALL and a special thanks to Kostas.

Re: [Dx4win] Lost packet window?
Hello Bill first of all go to file>preferences>packet1 tab to see if you have chosen type=regular and COM port=tcp/ip if not choose it if yes, your packet window is somewhere outside your screen.
