Stephen Nightingale 847957 Posted February 22, 2005 at 08:22 AM Posted February 22, 2005 at 08:22 AM When I start up Squawkbox 2.3b the splashscreen comes up. I click 'get into the action', it disappears and I am left looking at a blank SBHost page. Nothing happens. If I check the SB Relay page I see a mesage that reads 'Added fake player 'Squawkbox' to FS2004 session. I have tried all sorts of ideas but keep running into a brick wall. This sure isn't a user-friendly programme. So what do I do next???????? All help much appreaciated. SIGNED Frustrated Sim Pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Blackburn Posted February 22, 2005 at 08:43 AM Posted February 22, 2005 at 08:43 AM Have you then right clicked in the grey box that SBHost has left? Does it now show a menu? Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIGNED Frustrated Sim Pilot ´ Hello, you are right, SB2.3 definitely isn´t the most user-friendly software. Fortunately, it´s days are numbered . A possible cause of your problem might the position of the Squawkbox 2.3 window inside the SBHost page. It is possible that SB2.3 will be drawn OUTSIDE the visible area of that page. To correct this, edit the file SQUAWKBOX.INI in your main windows directory, usually C:\WINDOWS, using a text editor. Look at the sections: "[EFISWINDOW]" "[sBWINDOW]" and "[FMSWINDOW]" and delete the four respective entries in there. This will cause the positions to be reset. Perhaps this was the problem ... best regards, Martin Georg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much for (a) the hasty reply and (b) solving the problem. You were bang on the money with the oversize problem. Would never have solved that one in a million years. Now I just have to brush up on how to use SB. Thank you very much. SIGNED: NOT QUITE SO FRUSTRATED SIM PILOT (New Zealand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
