I think that I found the culprit - Google Chrome. When it is running
the app doesn't appear outside or inside the IDE. When it isn't running
then it appears. Can't believe I've spent 12 hours dealing with this
because of Google/Vista ugh

If the form is off screen there is a way of getting it back. Focus the
application then do the following: Hit Alt-Space. That should bring up the
windows menu (ie from the top left of the window) for the current window. You
may not be able to see it though if the form is offscreen. Press the down
arrow once (this will move focus to the Move command). Hit enter (to select
Move). Do Ctrl-Left (as in left arrow key, or in fact any of the arrow keys).
This will move the window one pixel BUT more usefully it also locks the form
into drag mode with the mouse cursor. Move your mouse now and the form should
appear on screen following the mouse cursor. Cheers,David. From:

Date: Saturday, May 14, 2011, 8:50 PMWhere does it store the positions?
Registry or .ini file? Have a look where the forms left and top are... Set them
to 0,0. From: delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz

Subject: Re: [DUG] Delphi 2007 & Vista Thanks David, the original application
is Accounting for Delphi. It does, as best as I can determine, "remember" last
screen size/position. I can not start the other programs (modules) although the
task manager says they are running.The curious thing, to me, is that when I
start the 'real' main menu, the splash screen appears, the user id/pw screen
appears and the "main" menu screen appears. I even moved the main menu to a
different screen position and when I restarted the app the main menu appeared
where I had placed it. But when I select another program/module from that main
menu that program does show.So I'm still at a lost as to what to do.Charlie

Date: Saturday, May 14, 2011, 8:19 PMDo you save and restore the last positions
of the windows?I’ve fallen into the trap of having left or top positions
outside the screen on start up. Also, what code are you using to start the
other programs? Can you start them manually? From: delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz

Subject: [DUG] Delphi 2007 & Vista Hi, Until Wednesday I was developing using
an XP laptop with Delphi 2007 and DBase files. My computer died and I borrowed
my son's laptop which has Vista. I installed Delphi 2007 with the 3rd party
controls, copied my program (.pas files) and recompiled my program. Actually I
did this with two programs. The second one runs both within the IDE and outside
the IDE. The first program will load the main form (outside of the IDE) but
when I click a button to open another form which is data dependent the form
doesn't show. Actually the application has exe's that are called in the onclick
event of the buttons; for example order entry, inventory, customer add/edit,
etc. I click the order entry button and task manager shows the exe is running;
however the form doesn't show on the laptop.I sincerely appreciate any
suggestions.Charlie
