Cause

• The screen coordinates of GeoStudio UI elements are recorded in the Registry.
• If your display setting change significantly, these coordinates may no longer be valid.
• Significant changes include (among others):
  • A different display configuration (accessing the computer via remote desktop).
  • Changing the display resolution.
  • Changing the number or orders of displays.
  • Accidentally disabling or moving UI elements off-screen.

Before You Start

• This article assumes you are using the latest version of GeoStudio.

Steps to Resolve

1. The GeoStudio 'Window' menu contains a command to reset the program to the default window layout.

3. Launch GeoStudio normally.
4. Open the 'Window' menu (shortcut: Alt + W).
5. Select 'Reset Window Layout' (shortcut: E).

7. Click on 'Yes'.
