    When I run simtools (either GameEngine or Manager) I see the splash screen then nothing. The apps do not appear in the task bar but do show up in Task Manager. If I "alt-tab" I can see the windows, but going to one doesn't make them appear. I've also tried the "Cascade Windows" option but they won't show up there either.

    I only have one monitor, so I'm not sure where they're going.
    Also, why don't they show up on the task bar?

    Thanks!

    My Motion Simulator:
    2DOF, 3DOF, DC motor, Arduino, Motion platform
    On the right side of the task bar is a little arrow. Clicking on it will show all applications that are running in the background. There you will also find all the SimTools components (Game Manager, Game Engine, Game Dash, and Game Vibe).
