Object Desktop Manager no longer appears when launched

from Stardock Forums

Hello.  When launching object desktop manager, the icon appears in taskbar but it won't show up on the desktop. 

I don't know what version of ODM I'm running, except I downloaded the latest version from website (same file size FWIW) and there's no difference.

Anyone else had the same problem?

What should I try doing?  Full uninstall/reinstall of all apps?  Is there a master backup utility I can use for each component to ensure settings (especially Fences) remain intact?

 

Thanks!

You can manage your apps at your MyAccount page at store.stardock.com.  Most would recommend you go there and download all the apps you've purchased or subscribed to; should your subscription expire at some point, subscription apps will no longer be available online, so local backups are highly recommended.

ODM is convenient but not required.

Thanks!

I just responded to it with the logs...

 

Looking back, I used to have a multi-monitor setup and it's possible that the page is stuck with coordinates on the second monitor that no longer exists, but I can't fathom a way to move it.  Even hitting 'alt' then using down arrow usually brings up a context menu with move/resize/close and other options...  not for ODM, though...

 

 (@Daiwa - thanks!  I did log in and check things out, they are separate downloads... I looked at the main apps used and they're the same versions...  probably another app was updated, or I forgot about one (probably Fences... :) ) )

Disabling currently not in use monitors forces any missing windows back to the currently used monitor.Use the graphics card icon in the system tray or whatever software controls your monitor setup & set it back to a single monitor setup.
