Re: Odp: Windows diagram editor not visible

["Michael Ross" <michael e ross gmail com>]

Sometime windows get stuck out of sight off the desktop.  If you see it in the task bar try maximizing it.  If that works, restore it, then on the task bar pick move and use the cursor keys to get it back into the desktop.  When you pick Move you will get the crossed arrows cursor, but it you actually try to pick for a drag and drop you will lose the hidden window.  Hence the cursor keys.

Don't know what you mean by "diagram editor window"

Both should be maximizable although it does not make much sense for the
toolbox. If you can activate the toolbox there is File/Preferences/"Use
menubar" to have a menubar on every diagram window. (But I think this is
the default from the installer.)

If you are refering to some integrate GUI you recently heard of, that will
only be available with dia 0.97 ...

I don't think Service Packs will have any influence on Dia's appearance.

The thing to look at is the log file written to %TEMP%\dia--0.96.1.log
It may contain useful information if something does not work as expected.
