Note, I re-booted from a BASIC environment running under Windows before noticing this problem. I'd just returned from a trip and the system had been used by my family, etc. Now, whenever I open an application from Program Manager (by double-clicking), Program Manager minimizes itself. CodeView for Windows (I'm a programmer) tells me this occurs when (or near) the application opens its own window. Several programs do this; I don't remember seeing one that doesn't. It's not a terrible problem; I just have to re-open Progman. Ring any bells? -- Lynn Wallace |I am not an official representative of Evans and Sutherland Computer Corp.| <- E&S.

I take it you have already checcked the "Minimize on Use" pop-up menu and it is not turned on. - Mike

Ring any bells? (ding!) The "Minimize On Use" flag in the Options Menu has been set. You'll see a check mark beside it when you pull down that Menu. Uh, not a flame (really), but you might RTM something like this next time. It's no secret. -- S.

In Program Manager's "Options" menu there is an option called "Minimize on use" If this option has a check mark next to it, then this is your problem.

I don't believe this... Try looking under the Options menu. The one you want is "Minimize on use". Deselect it. mathew
