Activity Forums Adobe Encore DVD preview window offscreen!

  • preview window offscreen!

    Posted by José Cordovil on September 12, 2008 at 5:11 pm

    My preview window is offscreen and there is no way I can resize it/drag it back. The bottom half is showing but I can’t do anything with it…

    I have a project to complete on the weekend and this is driving me mad.

    Can anyone help me?

    Regards,

    Change or reset your workspace.

    Not only does changing or resetting the work space not solve the issue, as everytime I click the preview button the window reappers higher and higher, so it’s bound to disappear eventually…

    I am baffled…

    And disappear it did… This is probably the most stupid thing that has ever happened to me while working with video editing sofware.

    Off to do a clean reinstall.

    It’s probably too late, but don’t do a clean install. Instead, quite Encore, and then search for Encore’s AppPreferences.xml and ProjectPrefs.xml files, and delete them.

    Relaunch, and then try Previewing.

    Joe , thanks for your suggestion!

    Today the preview window went offscreen again, I unlocked the Windows taskbar, and the preview window magically came back. I’m posting it here should anyone encounter the same problem.

    regards, jc
