Print Organizer dialog not showing

I was using print organizer this morning. THEN suddenly I could not find the dialog box! I checked the Window drop down list, saw it, picked but no dialog popped up. I tried the keyin, different user, different interface and still got nothing. I went to Utilities>MDL applications>Browse>Bentley.MicroStation.PrintOrganizer.ma then Key-ins. I think microstation "sees" it because when I choose "printorganizer saveas" the "Save Print Set File" dialog box opens, waiting for me to name a pset.  I rebooted the computer and still no dialog box.

Can anybody help me? I am ready to to back to batch plot.

Thanks

  • Can another user  login on your pc and  use microstation,  do they then get the dialog box?

    If they can then delete your  upf  file its become corrupt, if they  cant then  from the  windows control programs  uninstal  choose repair  mstn see if that fixes it..

    if still no joy , then its time to  remove and reinstall the program....sorry....

  • Thanks Lorys and Carl M for your recommendations.
    Lorys if I have to reinstall the program what folders/files do I need to save to get back to just before I started to have this problem?
  • ftp.bentley.com/.../quickinstall.htm

    Not sure what to keep

    ... I think your customisations could be saved elsewhere  but its just safer to remove and reinstall everything...

    did you try all the things we suggested ie another  user?

    delete old user pref file and let mstn make new user pref?

    windows repair?

  • Yes, I tried everything but no luck. I was ready for the IT guy to reinstall MS then he sent me a link from this web site.

    It said that my PrintOrganizerSettings.xml has become corrupt and I should copy the xml file from a functional workstation and replace it.

    THAT WORKED!!!! I tried to find more information about this before he sent me the link and could not sift through all of the things that came up.

    iceageg, I had tried that too, thinking along the same line but still got nothing.

    Thank you everyone for your interest and efforts to help resolve my issue
