Version 3 SSDR not starting properly

AC9S

Hello,

I am running a 6700, Maestro (original version) and SSDR Version 3 on Windows 7.  Accessed  locally, through a GS108 switch, SSDR appears to start, the chooser appears, but when I choose the 6700, the application never appears on the screen, nor does the program icon display on the task bar.  However, I can hear sound from the radio and the application shows up on task manager.  I cannot bring it to the foreground or maximize it from the task manager - both of which I can do with DAX and CAT.


The Maestro works just fine and yesterday I think SSDR when I first loaded it worked as well.  I am able to tune the SSDR receiver from Logic9, but of course that is the limit of my RX functionality from that package.  


The application is definitely running, but with the exception of Task Manager it is invisible to Win7.  The only way I can get rid of it is to **** it from Task Manager.  I have tried every permutation that I can think of powering down the 6700, computer, and Maestro.


Help!

Keith, One possibility is the application is offscreen. Press thee Windows Key and Right Arrow to see if that’s the case. Does the program icon appear in the task bar? 73, Mack W4AX Alpha Team

Hi Mack,  The program icon does not appear in the task bar.  By the three Windows keys I assume you mean CTRL, Windows, and alt - plus the right arrow.

I tried that plus throwing in the fcn key on my wired keyboard.  Nothing show on the screen.


Thanks -- Keith  - AC9S

Hi Larry,

I tried these - since the program icon doesn't show on the task bar they didn't work.


Appreciate the input.

Is there any chance you have set up virtual desktops? I'm just taking a stab because that could explain the lack of taskbar icon and the application being off screen. I use virtual desktops a lot so I thought I'd throw it out there.

Hi Geoff,

No - I do not have a virtual desktop going, not intentionally anyway.

Thanks for the input.

As a quick check, hold down the Windows key and then the Tab key.

If Auto Connect is functioning, but you want to get back to the radio selection screen (SmartLink Setup is also there), you can use the Settings -> Choose Radio option in the menu at the top left.

Eric, thanks for spending so much time on the community lately, it's been noticed.
