Main window remains minimized
On one of my computers (XP), on launching Calibre the main window remains minimized and I can't restore it. I can see that the process is running with the icon in the taskbar and the system tray.
I've tried the following to no avail: - disabling antivirus/malware protection during install as well when running calibre - have tried 6.17 and 7.8. With 7.8 I see calibre as well as the calibre parallel processes running in task manager, just can't bring the main window up. - between installs ensured that some other calibre process wasn't running. Also cleaned up the registry of any calibre entries - i see metabase.db getting created when launching calibre the first time. Tried deleting it between installs/runs. - don't see any events in event viewer application log Any ideas as to what the issue might be? Is there any option to generate a detailed log that might shed light on the problem? Thx -Suresh |

Calibre is opening in your second display, one that you most likely don't actually have hooked up. This happens when your laptop is set as the main monitor then you run in an external monitor. Go into your display properties and switch to just one monitor or switch the display numbers. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 07-11-2010 at 12:53 AM. |

Go to the settings tab of Display Properties and un-tick the "Extend my desktop", then Apply, and confirm. That might clear the stored coordinates. |
