Help - I lost my DesktopX widgets
Thursday, January 6, 2005 by El_Squiddo | Discussion: DesktopX
I have been using Desktop X for some time but now, all of a sudden, my widgets are starting up off screen
somewhere. This happened once before, and Im not sure what caused it but I had to reinstall XP, so the
problem went away. Well, now its back.
Whenver I go to startup certain widgets (ones that I HAD used before) they startup somewhere offscreen
(maybe). Of course, without a system menu I cannot retrieve them or even figure out where they have gone.
For example, one that is missing is the VectorCellWeather. When I launch it "VectorCellWeather" shows up in
the Task Manager Applications list - but there's no window.
Where did my widget window go and how do I get it back? Im not sure if its starting up offscreen or just
never comming up. Any insight anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

tried that- the widgets run just dandy when Im running DesktopX - they show up onscreen no problem. Apparently its just when Im running them as standalone EXE's that there's a problem.
ugh.
ugh.
