Equilab hand range window won't open

Hey guys,

Have been using Equilab for a week or so and loved it, but unfortunately I'm now having a strange problem.

When I click on the 'hand range selection' button - nothing happens, I can see the window is open in the taskbar, but it won't go onto my screen.

Any ideas? I've restarted system etc. Is there any way to re-install but make sure I keep my saved hand ranges? Because I have load of them and don't want to lose them.

Thanks a lot.

Hey ehhh7,

As a basic member you cannot post images here in our forum. I have edited your thread so it contains a link to your screen shot instead.

In order to post images you would need to play tracked at one of partner rooms or purchase a status from our points shop!

Best regards,
Gary

Just a wild guess -- perhaps it is there but off screen.

First, make sure you're using 1.2.8.0 or later.

In the task bar, click the icon for that window.

Now press alt-spacebar

A small menu will appear on the left, right, top or bottom of your screen.
If the window is offscreen to the left, the menu will be on the left, and so on.

On the menu, click move.
use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the window back on to the screen and press enter.

You can use the same trick to fix windows that somehow got shrunk too small to be visible, by using the "size" choice on the menu -- but the hand range window won't resize so that won't apply in this case.

If the alt-spacebar trick doesn't work, try uninstalling and re-installing Equiab

HTH,

Well WTF, it worked in windows 10 too! You used to be able to right click on the icon in NT and you would get the move option. I just assumed it was no longer available.

I didn't think to look for a different command to execute the same function ~ Duh!

Thank you! That was driving me nuts!

Hey twirlspin -- glad it worked!
The alt-spacebar "trick" has been around since Windows 2 (I never had Windows 1 if there even was one).

Sometimes it helps being really old :coolface:

Hi VorpalF2F - Windows 2? I got my start on windows 3.1 (not even 3.0). But not too young I just turned 55 :)

I still remember having to edit config files in Dos 6.1/6.2 to take advantage of a few more megabits or maybe it was kb of RAM lol.

Goes to show you can always learn something new! Eeven if I and the info is old as dirt :)

Windows 2 was a Dos program -- you could do everything without a mouse

You might find this article interesting:

They had a competitor in the windowing market then called Desqview
I owned a copy of that, and liked it better, but unfortunately, Windows won out.

Cheers,

Yes I have seen this before I always associated DOS as command line and windows as gui. So I forgot the connection you were making, thanks for the clarification!

CHeers!
