EQ2MAP Not Visible on Launch

[kedaire]

I'm having an issue getting EQ2MAP to work on one of my computers. It installed fine and it sems to launch fine, I get the Icon in my toolbar but there is no window to show that is updating. After a minute or two EQ2 launches and I can run the game but the map are just the original maps.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit, I have tried running it as admin and have uninstalled and reinstalled but no help. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Hi,

I have exact the same behavior of eq2maps (also Win7 64bit).
And I do not have any idea why this happens. When I place my (mouse) pointer over the taskbar I get a mini picture of the gui. I can also see that an update is successfully running. Today there was an error (red text) which I was not able to read (to small gui) and eq2 was not started...
...installing all available ms-updates...eq2maps runs again without "normal" gui.
But I am still searching how to solve that issue.
Anybody else an idea?

Could it be off screen ??

I'm having the same issue, I had to change it to launch as maximized window to be able to see anything. Not ideal but it will work for the moment.

I have solved the problem:
Thx for the idea with offscreen.
Googled following instruction:
* Use ALT+TAB to switch to the off-screen application.
* Press ALT-SPACE to bring up the system menu (you won't see it because it is off screen)
* Press R to select the "Restore" menu choice to ensure the windows isn't is maximized (you can not move it if it is maximized)
* Press ALT-SPACE again, then M to select the "Move" menu choice.
* Press one of the arrow keys to initiate the movement.
* Now just use the mouse to place the window where you want.

And it worked.

I hope this helps the others, too.
