Setup Tray

This is such an embarrassing problem...

I can't find/see the Setup Tray when I start a WiF scenario. I have tried Barbarossa and Guadalcanal. I have moved the main map window around to verify that there is nothing behind it. My only thought has been that the Setup Tray is popping up below the lower edge of my monitor.

Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a command that will call up the Setup Tray?

I've watched about half of the training videos and the game sure looks fun. I have fond memories of playing the physical game 20+ years ago.

How many monitors do you use? You could experiment with using only one, to see if that helps.

As Lex said, my first guess is that you are using two monitors and have put the Main form on the smaller monitor. Try putting the Main form at the top on the larger monitor. And be sure to resize the detailed map (obviously also on the larger monitor) so its top is just below the bottom of the Main form. This will cost you some real estate on the larger monitor, but not a lot.

I have this on my list of things to fix. And every time someone reports it as a problem, it inches its way a little closer to the top of my list.

EDIT: BY the way, the embarrassment is all mine.[:(]
