I'm not sure that I understand the issue here. no I meant when I open it I can't view it when its minimized but I can when I maximize it. What exactly happens is I start up the Pager and I can't view it so I right click it and select Maximize then I can view it but when I minimize it (button left of the red X) I can't anymore. | |
Hmm, there are actually three states, maximised (taking the complete screen), custom (you can change the size depending on your own preferences) and minimized (not visible unless for the task bar).
So, you see no pager on custom size, right? When did this problem start? | |

I didn't mean the time it started, but rather what changes to your computer/settings/BYOND directly preceded the problem.

Did you properly uninstall (using the executable) the old version before installing the new one? no I just downloaded it | |

My guess would be that a registry setting got altered. I've asked for details on where BYOND stores these settings in specific and hope to come back to you with a reply soon (or, as soon as I get a reply myself ;))

Does right-clicking the taskbar and selecting "Tile Windows Horizontally" bring it back onto the visible desktop when the pager is not visible?

Could you try to delete the pager.txt file in the cfg folder of your BYOND user directory (which can be found by opening the pager "Advanced" preferences). Don't mistake this directory for where you installed BYOND, that is a rather separate beast. Note that BYOND should be closed when deleting the file, so log out, close BYOND, delete the file, and try to open BYOND again.
Thank you in advance. | |

You say that the pager doesn't show up when maximised, but then you state that you right click and maximize the pager to access it?
Could you explain what exactly happens under which conditions?
