Hi,

since yesterday my reminders window in MLO Desktop version 4.3.3 doesn't show up anymore in Windows 8.1. Previously it worked like a charm. Now it is an open window, but when I click on it in the taskbar it won't show up. Any ideas?

My MLO help files don't show up either. I'll try to reinstall MLO tomorrow, maybe that helps.

Hi,

I have solved both problems.

1) Reminders window doesn't show up anymore:
I laughed out, when I turned on my second screen: there it is - there we go!

2) Help chm file shows only content table, but contents window is empty:
I moved my MLO program files away from a network resource to a local hard drive: there it is.


Thanks for reading.

Baddr,

I think that is a bug.  The reminders window should remember it's last position but if that's on a monitor that isn't (currently) attached to the system then the window should spawn/move to a monitor that is.

I use a laptop with a dock and a second screen and have a couple of small utilities that flake the same way.  Most of my programs though do not falter this way.
Coincidentally I always have my reminder window on my laptop's screen (main screen) so I never had this issue.  (I also run Win 7 in case that makes a diff.)

You should report a bug to them by email and link this thread.

Azaria,

It seems that my second screen is recognized as active by windows even if it's turned off. I can move the mouse pointer to it. It's windows fault or windows misconfiguration I think.

In Windows' screen properities do you have the 2nd screen set as the 'default' screen?  Does it enumerate as screen 2 or screen 1 when you hit 'Identify'? 
Does your Windows Start Bar appear on that 2nd screen?

Azaria,

Now it seems ok. When screen is off screen properties show one screen and mouse cannot leave the screen. When I turn on the second screen its shown in the properties as expected. Turning off only one screen left in properties.

Thanks for your help!
