Project Analysis Window Won't Open

Post by rmdavidson »

I have just Flare 7.2 (not the whole suite) and had Project Analysis open earlier fixing topics that don't have keywords, broken links, etc. I moved from one desk to another and now Flare doesn't do anything when I try to open the Project Analysis for any of the options (links, TOC, etc). I know moving *shouldn't* be related, but I had to fix my two monitors and mouse and even reinstall the open source IM client we use and restart my computer about 4 times upon plugging everything back in. I don't know why. I closed down all the software, maybe someone yanked a cord before the computer was completely shut down...anyways. Any idea what I can do to get that window to come back up short of completely reinstalling Flare?

I figured it out. It was a Windows thing. I really wasn't about to reinstall Flare to try to fix it like they did with the IM software, which I thought was odd, but it is buggy. I tried opening something else I usually have in my second monitor (which was on the right but is now on the left -- two different sizes) and saw a "ghost" of the window (for lack of a better word coming to mind) fly off to the right from the taskbar when I clicked and only to not appear on my second monitor. Apparently ALT-Spacebar and maximizing the window gets it back on my screen where I can move it over to my other monitor.

I sxeen that issue also when you use dual monitors. Reseting the layout sometimes fixes it

Rick,

I'd already gone into the layout and changed which was the primary and swapped them around and all that, but it was still doing it so I was a bit baffled.
