Why does DB not "show itself"?

[protossop]

i load DB and it works fine and bots fine, except for the fact that when you load it, only the icon shows on the taskbar. normally if you try to click on DB normally the DB application will show, where it shows the gph and all the settings. in my case the application refuses to show itself, even though it is working in the background. why is this happening?

You can try (on Win Vista, 7) Win + M to move the window (use your arrow keys, or shift + arrow once, then just use your mouse). It seems sometimes windows get certain flags that shouldn't be set. This is actually one of those usability issues I've been looking into (as it affects almost all of our products). Your other option, is to run DB without anything else running (run it without D3 running) and it should be visible. If not, let me know.

i tried both your suggestions and neither fixed it =\

DB has a bug where if it crashes, it changes the window position to negatives x and y. They need to fix it to only allow within desktop range -.-

So if your config has negative x and y for window position, it won't show on your desktop.

I find setting the position in the global settings after closing DemonBuddy fixes the issue on next reload.

Looks like sometime it gets save with Int.MinValue or something -37000 (I know that isn't int.MinValue note the or something)

If on Win7, hold the window key and press the left arrow twice. That worked for me.
