JIDE 2.0.3 can't show message or debug window

I can't get these windows to show.· I call them up through the menu and nothing happens.· Only the focus gets sent away from the main application window but no go.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but didn't change anything.

This use to work the last time I went in a month ago.· Any updates to this software?· I only saw the same version available for download.

Anyone else experience this and was able to fix it?· Thanks.

Yves

    What OS are you using? XP, Vista?
    Have you tried the IDE beta:

    Thanks Peter. I've read through the above beta thread and implemented the three files.· Now getting the attached series of error messages whenever I attempt to debug the project.· Debug window doesn't appear but messages are continuous.

    Running XP SP2 and using BOE USB rev. B.

    Did I miss another file somewhere?· any part of the registry I can access to reset the application defaults for the windows?

    All you have to do, and did as I understand, is to unzip
    Javelin.zip into·the Javelin Stamp installation folder
    (generates Javelin.exe)
    and copy Terminal.java to folder <%path%>\lib\stamp\core
    Then running Javelin.exe is enough to start the IDE beta.

    I think the errors come from the fact that you use a BOEUSB board.
    Have you applied the fix to the usb board as descibed in

    The fix is a 1k resistor between SIN and GND on the 24pin socket.

    ok, here's the scoop. was able to go into registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ParallaxInc\JavelinStamp and set the DebugLeft and MessageLeft settings to 0. they were causing the debug and message windows to be drawn off the screen.

    Weird how they got to these values but I'm good to go now. Also soldered the 1K and running the beta version of Jide. Thanks Peter, this gave me an excuse to try the new software and implement the BOE mod too.

    Had you set the display resolution low, like 640x480
    when the message window was hidden?

    no, never. I was always using my laptop with fixed display size of 1280x800. The only thing different is I went with an additional external display and set my laptop to use extended desktop feature. That may have done it with screwing up the window location.

    Oh well. will know next time, nothing lost. Thx again Peter for beta software with very nice additions BTW.

    Cheers,

    Yves

    Yes, that must have been the cause.
    Thanks for letting me know.

    regards peter
