Re: Mailwasher

Damien,
Yes, I ran across that bug in Win98 - with other apps. It's
really a bummer when it happens to something like Frame!

The problem, as well as my little pea brain can determine,
is that the window opens, but it's essentially somewhere
off the desktop, so you can't see it.

A couple of things I've tried with hit-or-miss success:

1. With the taskbar entry depressed (so that the app 
   window *should* be open if you can see it) point to an
   empty area of the taskbar and select either "cascade
   windows" or "tile windows". Since this option rearranges
   all open windows on the visible desktop, it frequently
   makes the missing window reappear.

2. Point to the taskbar entry, right-click, and select Move.
   Without moving the mouse, hold down the left mouse button
   and drag. With any luck, you'll catch the title bar of 
   the missing app and drag it back on to the active desktop.

3. If all else fails, reinstall the software.

HTH!
