Hi Cynthia,
Hi, I had a similar problem time ago, and I modified
my code as following to get a better result...
if(frame.getState()==Frame.ICONIFIED)
frame.setState(Frame.NORMAL);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.requestFocus();
Hope it helps.

Christian,
Here is the code that I use. I added the "toFront()" and changed "show()"
to
"setVisible(true)", but this has no effect. Again, I don't have any
problem if
I simply start a Swing applicaton on NT. The problem arises when we have an
already running non-GUI TCP/IP Java server application which is request to
start
a Swing application. The problem occurs whether or not the the MSDOS window
containing the TCP/IP Java server is maximized and has the focus or not.

int left = (screen.width - width)/2;
int top = (screen.height - height)/2;
setBounds(left, top, width, height);
// Trying to force visibility on Windows.
toFront();
setVisible(true);
//show();
windowOpen = true;
