Title: Window moved offscreen --- help!
Post by musanim on Mar 12^th, 2013, 8:56pm

MIDI-OX got into a strange state, such that whenever I resized its window, the window moved a little to the left. After resizing it a few times, it moved completely off my display --- so that I can't see it! If I select Maximize in the taskbar, I can get it to be full-screen, but then of course I can't see any of the other programs I'm running. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling MIDI-OX (thinking that this would nuke the preferences), but it still starts with the window invisible. I tried to find the preferences for the app, but didn't find any (in Documents and Settings). How can I get the window back on-screen?

You don't mention what OS you are using.
I have seen a similar problem to this with another application and it turned out to be the NVidia video card settings.

But looking at the starting with the window invisible (minimized?) problem, assuming XP, right click the MidiOx desktop icon and select Properties.
Make sure the 'Run:' option is "Normal window"

To get a window that is off the screen, right click on a blank part of the Task Bar and select 'Cascade windows' or one of the 'Tile' options

Windows XP.

Ah, very good --- just what I needed.

THANK YOU!!!
