Dvbdream Disapears between two monitors in windows 7

Postby no1ninja » Sat Sep 12, 2009 11:53 am

My dvbdream disapeared in my dual monitor display. It used to do this in XP in that you could minimize it, and than maximize it and you could not see it other than on the task bar with its status.


In Windows 7 I do not know how to use the move command on the window in the task bar to get it to restore proper values for the window so that i can see it. The only options i get is minize and show, but show does nothing.


So now dvbdream windows has disapeared and saved its states so even if i end task when i restart it it starts out of my display.



This is so frustrating, dvbdream is the only app i have these problems with in dual display mode.


Help what do i do? (dvbdream 1.4i, windows 7) (I used to like windows 7 now i hate it, its so supid!!!! show me my window, let me resize it fawk!@#!@#!@)

aarrgggghhh.... this is so anyoying, i can mouse over the process in the taskbar and see it runnning and the singal bars pumping in minuture tile, but there is no way to get it out of limbo, I even tried disconecting my 2nd monitor hoping the values for the window would reset... nothing, still same crap.

And dvbdream 1.4i has saved this sorry state, so even if i kill it and restart it nothing changes.


I can't get the window to show.... please people help.

I know i can probably go into the registry to change dvbdreams window start position, but i don't want to do that, that is crazy.... there is got to be an easier way to get this window to show.

Solution found, [Windows Key] + [Arrow key] when moused over the tile. This will re-position the window.



(Sorry for the rant, you can imagine how fun it is to miss sports... when your window disapears and there is no obvious way of getting it back. :D )
