Dynamics GP Window Is Not Visible or Is Hidden

Quick post to share a quirk that I ran into recently. Nothing complex, but it was annoying.

I had been using GP 10 on a remote Terminal Server, and had minimized the main GP 10 window before I disconnected my session. When I logged back into the server, GP would not maximize or resize--it just stayed in the task bar but would not display.

I thought it might be temporary, so I tried closing it, and then relaunching it, with no luck. Even logging out, and logging back in didn't work.

I knew there was a config file storing the window location, but it has been several years since I last had this issue.

The setting is in the Dex.ini file, which for GP 10 is now located in the Data subdirectory for GP.

If you search for the WindowPosX and WindowPosY values, you will want to set those to a reasonable positive values, like 100:

WindowPosX=100
WindowPosY=100

In my case, the values had both been changed to -32000 for some reason, which explains why I couldn't see GP!

Once I set them both to 100 and saved the Dex.ini, GP launched fine.
