Hi,
I need help with this too.
I don't it is such a dumb question, I think it is related to having
more than one screen. I am running 2 screens and when i run backtests
or optimizations my computer is very loud, which I tracked down to
the graphics card. I got a new card but after I put the it in,
Amibroker was off to the left of both screens. I tried maximizing and
minimizing from the bar at the bottom of the main screen, but as
Amibroker came up it disappeared screen left. There was no way that I
could get it on either screen.
I tried swapping the screens around, changing screen 1 and 2 in
windows, but I just could not get Amibroker up at all. I tried
upgrading drivers and every setting I could find.
In the end, i put my old graphics card back in and Amibroker was back
where it belonged like magic. The new card is still in its box.
It took me some to do this and i'm reluctant to embark on it again,
but if you could give me some advice i would really like to get the
new card in and the old noisy one out.
Do you think that deleting the registry file as below would solve the
problem?
Thanks,
Arthur

With 16 of the programs the upper right hand minimize-maximize
buttons works as they should.

for AmiBroker - either the window is totally minimized or totally

BUT does work for ALL other programs. I have some king of "bug" in
AmiBroker. I tried re-installing but that didn't work.
