  Hi, Thanks for the response Roberto.
  
  I will try 0.6.0.0. I may not have time to do it today, but I will do it
  tomorrow (Thursday) at the latest.

  I'm using MaxLauncher 0.8.0.0 (which doesn't appear to be an option in the
  "Milestone" selector). At first it worked well on a Toshiba laptop running
  Windows 8.1. Now, however, MaxLauncher starts near the lower right-hand
  corner of my screen and can't be moved anywhere. It's locked in place.
  Furthermore all of the icons and their associated links seem to be gone.
  
  This started shortly after I installed version 0.8.0.0. I tried going back
  to 0.7.0.0, but that didn't help. I don't think that the latest version
  caused the problem.
  
  The positioning issue is a new problem on the Toshiba, but it has always
  been the case on my Surface tablet, also running Windows 8.1. On the
  Surface, I have stuck with MadAppLauncher, because of the positioning issue
  with MaxLauncher.
  
  Any advice?

  Hi Roberto:
  
  It turned out I still have my original copy of version 0.6.0.0, so I just
  unzipped it, overwriting v 0.8.0.0.
  
  The screen shot below shows how it starts. I only have the top row of
  buttons, and I cannot move MaxLauncher from that spot on the screen. It is
  locked in place.
  
  I did discover that if I set the view to "drag and drop mode" I can move the
  MaxLauncher window. However, if I uncheck "drag and drop mode" again,
  MaxLauncher moves back to the location you see it and won't budge.

Hi Peter,

Have you tried running MaxLauncher in safe mode (http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/ss/windows-8-safe-mode.htm)? I just want to see if there is an application that is causing it to behave that way. Application that modifies the screen may affect it; apps such as nview or Display Fusion(which I noticed in your screenshot).

BTW, I ran it on a Windows 8.1 and it worked just fine.

With regards to the tab/buttons, do you have an .mld file open? If not, try to create one via File/New. FYI, you can also import .mal files via File/Import.

Thanks.

Roberto

  Thanks for the reply Roberto:
  
  You were right about the buttons. I just had to find and re-open an mld
  file. Don't know why I didn't think of that, and also don't know why
  MaxLauncher lost track of that file.
  
  I haven't tried starting MaxLauncher in safe mode. I did try stopping
  Display Fusion, and that made no difference.

I have never used Display Fusion but I downloaded and tried it for a bit, at least the evaluation version. I noticed that it runs a service so even if you exit it from the tray the service may still be running. That is why I thought it might be a good idea just to run it in Windows Safe Mode.

Roberto

  My apologies Roberto, it took me a long time to get around to running
  Windows in Safe Mode to see if the issue with the placement of the
  MaxLauncher window would be affected. I just tried it.
  
  Starting is safe mode makes no difference. The MaxLauncher window is still
  locked into position towards the lower right corner of my screen. If I
  change the View setting to "Drag and Drop Mode", I can move the window
  around normally. However, as soon as I turn off "Drag and Drop Mode" the
  window pops back to its position towards the lower right.
  
  It isn't a fatal issue. MaxLauncher works fine, I just can't put the window
  anywhere else. I'm continuing to use MaxLauncher as my default program
  launcher, and I like it a lot.

Out of curiosity, I tried putting MaxLauncher on a Windows 10 machine. The
same problem occurs; MaxLauncher is locked in one position on the screen.
This particular machine has a lower resolution than the other machines on
which I've tried MaxLauncher. Its screen resolution is only 1366 x 768. On
that screen, MaxLauncher appears to be locked in the center of the screen.

Windows in Safe Mode to see if the issue with the placement of the

Hi Peter,

When you tried on Windows 10, do you have the View/Center on Screen option checked? Being stuck at the center of the screen is this options intention.

Thanks.

  Hi Roberto:
  
  Yes, I did have View/Center on Screen checked. That must be the default,
  because I have never deliberately selected it. I un-checked it, and now the
  window can be moved around as would be expected.
  
  After doing that, I went back and looked on my Windows 8.1 machine. Sure
  enough, Center on Screen was also checked on that machine. However, it has
  a higher-resolution screen, 1920 x 1080. On the higher-resolution screen,
  the Center on Screen option places the MaxLauncher window towards the lower
  right of the screen.
  
  So that explains the problem I've been telling you about. It isn't a
  problem at all. I had never really looked at the view options, and it just
  hadn't occurred to me that "Center on Screen" would be checked by default.
  Since the window does not in fact appear in the center of the screen, I
  never made the connection.
  
  Thanks: Peter R.
