Harrison Chan 1267897 Posted October 23, 2014 at 03:45 AM Posted October 23, 2014 at 03:45 AM Hello, vPilot will not open any windows when I open it. (Same applies to debug) I know the process is started, as vPilot does show up in the "Processes" tab of Task Manager, but it is not in the "Applications" tab, or anywhere to be found on the taskbar. I've tried clean reinstalling several times. Specs: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1 Intel Core i5-2320 AMD Radeon HD 6570 Thanks, Harrison Also on the VRC/vPilot forums: http://www1.metacraft.com/VRC/forums/viewtopic.php?p=17443#17443 Website: http://www.pilotharrison.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Carlson Posted October 24, 2014 at 10:11 PM Posted October 24, 2014 at 10:11 PM Try running in debug mode and see if there is any info in the logs.

Debug won't even launch the window.

Mark Taylor 1268798 Posted October 25, 2014 at 03:10 PM Posted October 25, 2014 at 03:10 PM Could it be starting off-screen? If you think it might be then try press and holding the Windows key then the right arrow key a few times to move it on-screen. Unlikely but if you have ever used multiple screens then there is a chance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted October 25, 2014 at 04:06 PM Posted October 25, 2014 at 04:06 PM When the window is first displayed, it checks to be sure the top left corner is visible on one of the active displays, and if not, it moves itself to the primary display, so I don't think it's off screen. Plus, if it were off screen, I think it would still appear in the applications list in task manager.

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted November 1, 2014 at 03:46 AM Posted November 1, 2014 at 03:46 AM not sure if vpilot enters anything in the registry, try to check. uninstall, remove any entries you see in the registry for vpilot, reinstall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted November 1, 2014 at 05:05 AM Posted November 1, 2014 at 05:05 AM The only thing vPilot uses the registry for is to create shortcuts and store the install location. Clearing it out won't help, because the exact same values will be put back in when you reinstall. I'm afraid without any debug log information, I'm at a loss as to why it doesn't work on your system.

Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted November 4, 2014 at 05:11 AM Board of Governors Posted November 4, 2014 at 05:11 AM Has me pretty stumped too. A couple of thoughts: 1. Have you tried going back to a Windows restore point before it stopped working? 2. Have you tried disabling your antivirus and then trying (maybe an AV update?)? I googled "process starts but not application" and here is something that caught my eye that helped a few people: http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/164500-programs-show-under-processes-but-not-applications-tab.html And this one helped a few people as well: http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/122804-process-running-programs-don-t-open.html Don Desfosse Vice President, Operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted December 30, 2014 at 02:17 AM Posted December 30, 2014 at 02:17 AM try this, launch vpilot by itself, then press Alt + Tab to make sure vpilot is selected then hold your windows key + the Up, Down, Left, or Right key. try them all to see which one brings it back, for me its usually Up that brings the application back with any app that has that happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
