[amsat-bb] Re: SatPS32 off screen window
First , as I was very tired last night from working at finishing up my newly finished basement shack I neglected to mention I didn't have the problem will all SatPC32 configurations, the program was behaving properly with configuration 1. I avoided this issue for at least a year until now, as I had to add another radio. I did a search for all occurrences' of SatPos.SQF I found the offending file, did an edit, but the edit wouldn't stick as I couldn't quit the program properly(with a proper quit) as the SatPC32 window was still off screen. What I figured out I had to do, was change the SatPC32 shortcut start properties to start maximized. After the program came up, I then saved it with a quit. Then changed startup properties back to a normal window. Then restarted SatPC32 and positioned the window where I wanted it to startup and then did another quit. I had to do this for configurations 2, 3, and 4. I'm running XP , never configured a second monitor, I have no idea how this happened. Thanks for all the help. All is once again good in KB2M sat op land :-) 73 Jeff kb2m -Original Message- From: Erich Eichmann [mailto:erich.eichm...@t-online.de] Sent: Saturday, December 10, 2011 1:49 AM To: Jeff KB2M Cc: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] SatPS32 off screen window Hi Jeff, if you have at least a part of the program window on the screen move it back with the mouse to the position you want. Then close the program from the menu File, Quit. That will save the last screen position. Closing the program with the x control will not. If the window is completely off the screen, change the two first entries in the text file SatPos.SQF in the SatPC32 DATA folder, for example set both values to 0. The window will then be positioned in the uppler left corner of the screen. The data folder is hidden by default. So, make all files and folders visible (Explorer- Tools - Folder Options - View). The path of the folder depends on the OS, under XP it is C:\Documents and Settings\Username \AppData\SatPC32, under Vista and Windows 7 it is C:\User\Username\AppData\Roaming\SatPC32. 73s, Erich, DK1TB - Original Message - From: Jeff KB2M k...@comcast.net To: 'Amsat BB' amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Friday, December 09, 2011 11:59 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] SatPS32 off screen window Has anyone had a SatPC32 problem where the program opens in a window off screen.

[amsat-bb] Re: SatPS32 off screen window
The problem was that the window was off screen AND the move option wasn't available, all that was available was minimize, or x close. Try right clicking on the satps32 in the taskbar, then try an alt space bar. The observer two window comes up with the move option, and that is what will move :-). Like I said none of the normal window fixes worked, or were available. What I did fixed the problem, and also after I sent my last post I had to chuckle as what Erich said would of course worked if executed before I loaded SatPC32... 73 Jeff kb2m -Original Message- From: Gregg Wonderly [mailto:w5...@cox.net] Sent: Saturday, December 10, 2011 12:18 PM To: Jeff KB2M Cc: 'Erich Eichmann'; amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] Re: SatPS32 off screen window When a window is off screen, it is possible to move that window on screen by right clicking it in the task bar, selecting move, and then holding down the appropriate left or right arrow keys to move it on the display. Try it some time to see how it works and then you'll be ready for the moment.
