Something went wrong with my PowerBuilder 2021 yesterday. Now the IDE will not fully open. When I hover near it on task bar this is all I see. Is my only option to uninstall?

So there's a couple of ways you could try and make this work:

1) Simply change the Maximized value to 1 and it should ignore the Window= values or

2) Change the windows values to something like Window=50 50 700 700

If option 1 works it should simply maximize the window and ignore your window values. If you go with option 2 then it should open a less than maximized windows at the coordinates, height and width identified above. You can then maximize the window which should then update the INI upon exiting PB.

IMPORTANT...these changes to the INI need to made with PB closed and so if you still have it running then right click on the icon in the task bar and click X Close window.

 

HTH...regards,

Mark

Hi, 

I had similar problem and I resolved it to go to Task manager, find Appeon Powerbuilder 2021 application, Expand it and select workspace. Right click on workspace and select Maximize. This will show PB IDE in full screen again.

 

 

Regards

Tomaz

Thank you Tomaz,

This is great to know; I never thought to look at Task Manager.

Cheers,

Teresa

I am looking in the PB.ini that is in the same folder as the exe [C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\PowerBuilder 21.0].

This is all that is in the [PB] section

 

[PB]

DashesInIdentifiers=1
DatabaseWarnings=1
Maximized=1

Hi Mark,

I changed maximize to 1 and now it opens. Is that all I need to worry about?

Thank you.

Hi Mark,

Maximized=1 and I don't see a Window=? at all.

Just to double-check, here is what mine looks like with a couple lines above and below:

PropertiesMode=0

Window=246 67 1559 870

LastWorkspace=D:\CPS\CPS.pbw

ProfTraceActivities=1042



Do you have something similar but the Window= line is missing (again, all under the [PB] section)?

Hi Teresa,

Looks like maybe your PB application somehow went off screen. Locate your PB.ini file (located in a path similar to: C:\Users\Teresa\AppData\Local\Appeon\Your Version of PB). In the [PB] section, the first section, look for the Maximized= line, is the value 0 or 1? Then scroll down until you see the entry Window=. What are the values?

Regards,

Mark
