  • 1.  Blank Sage 100 Icon Appears on the Taskbar after Logon

    Posted 09-03-2020 15:44
    2018 Advanced.  One user gets a empty Sage 100 logo on the taskbar after entering her user name and password.  I have tried my user name and password and get the same issue.  Tried disabling the Antivius, Windows firewall on the server, added an inbound rule for the port, re-installed workstation setup and still getting the same issue.  Any ideas?

    I think we have seen this before and a guess is that the launcher is running "off-screen" ...

    You can try renaming the Sage100 folder under My Documents

    and try classic and the rename again and try standard ....

    (I think there are other ways to resolve this as well)

    Maybe the .json files?  Rename the C:\Users\"username"\Documents\Sage 100 folder

    I've been having that issue quite frequently.  It hasn't quite got to the pl_advancedoptions_ui level yet, but it's definitely growing.

    It really shouldn't take much coding time to not allow negative numbers to be written to the settings for screen location...

    It's more the loading of settings vs saving.  Close Sage 100 when you have dual-monitors and the settings could be valid then.  Open from a remote session with only one monitor, and the saved settings could refer to a screen location no longer available.
    I agree though... I don't know why this is still an issue.  It shouldn't be too hard to fix when the cause is known.

    I was relying on the attached KB, which apparently is not the correct KB because it mentions nothing about renaming the ..\documents\Sage 100\ folder.
