blackpenny Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I open Paint.Net and I get this: I have the latest version. I have tried restarting the computer and uninstalling and reinstalling PDN. Please help??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Above the Colors window, you have a floating title bar. That's Paint.NET, you've just shrunk the window to the minimum possible size. Click and drag any of the edges to resize it to something usable. Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!

Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Or click the double-box icon (right next to the red X in that title bar).

barbieq25 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 You guys are great! How come the other toolbars didn't minimise? I'm interested from a learning/teaching viewpoint. Really wish either one one you was here now to help me figure out why my desktop pc won't boot Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

Rick Brewster Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 The main window isn't a toolbar. The toolbars don't "minimize."

barbieq25 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I would have expected that if the program was minimised that all of the toolbars would have been too. I was able to replicate the problem & now understand your response too. Nevermind guys...$320 & a new video card fixed my problem too. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

blackpenny Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Thank you, thank you! That was so simple it's almost embarrassing. I have no idea how I did that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 This may also happen if you have a "multimonitor management" or "multi-desktop management" tool installed. AMD/ATI's HydraVision, for instance, is known to cause really weird things to happen to Paint.NET's tool windows. Uninstall it fixes this. Since multimon has been part of Windows since 1998, these programs are almost entirely useless and I'm not sure why they still install them with some video card drivers.

blackpenny Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 My husband set up the two monitors so I don't know how it was done. But I checked my programs and I don't have HydraVision. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
