SX Sim windows 'disappear' - how to get them back

First a caveat - I am using 32 bit vista
I start SXSIM from the SX-KEY IDE (it is terrific btw). But every now and then it goes into a mode whereby I cannot see the sx-sim window. I can MAXIMISE the window and then see it; but if I take off maximization it seems to have disappeared completely. The little floating button window is not available either with maximization or without.
If I fool around for long enough (opening and closing the application / ide a few times) then it appears to go back to normal until the problem starts all over again.
So does anyone know:
a) What I am doing to trigger this 'peek-a-boo' behavior
b) If there is an official way to get the windows back

whenever you quit SXSim, it saves the recent session in a file with .SIM extension, i.e. if you run SXSim on Test.lst, the session will be saved in Test.sim. This file also contains the last window positions and sizes. Possibly, the .sim file is corrupted by some reason, so simply delete it, and try to launch SXSim again. It should start-up again with the default window positions.

I have found that if I cascade or tile the windows I can get the SXsim·windows back working.
