GUI does not appear after selecting project

Troubleshooting


Problem

When you open a project, you do not see the IBM Rational Robot user interface.

Symptom

Robot does appear in the Windows task bar, but only as an icon. The actual Robot window is so small that you cannot manipulate it. When you restart Windows, Robot appears in the same way after you open a Robot project.

Cause

Robot remembers the size and position of the previous run, also when you restart the computer.

Resolving The Problem

Consider the following steps.

  1. Press ALT + TAB to switch to Robot.

  2. Use ALT + SPACE to resize the Robot window.

Now you can see and resize, move and maximize the window with your mouse again.
