Missing OctaneRender Setup window

My OctaneRender Setup window has suddenly gone missing or has become invisible.

When I, from within Poser, start the OctaneRender app it goes through the usual process and then... nothing.

When I try to start it again I get a "Error" window stating "OctaneRender Setup window already open". But there is no Setup window visible.

Looks like it was a corrupt xml file.

Yes, it was probably creating the window off your screen or perhaps minimized.

Well, this problem came back with a vengeance. There was nothing I could do to get the window to be visible. Finally I found a utility called WinLister: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/winlister.html which did the tick and would move any window (or sub window) of an app back to center screen.

Just a FYI in case anyone else gets nailed by this.

Jeff - are you using 2 monitors? Are you minimising the Setup window? Deleting config.xml should reset the window position. If it happens again, could you send me you config.xml file pls?

Yes, this was a dual monitor issue. I will get that log to you if it happens again.
