I had the same problem. I think the default windowing behavior is the
issue here. Try this:
1. Unmaximize the Stata application and pull the application window (by
which I mean the frame that holds all the sub-windows for Stata) the
right a bit. You should now see the review and variable windows to the
left, connected to, but OUTSIDE of, the Stata application window.
2. Drag the review and variable windows onto the Stata application
window.
3. Maximize the Stata application window (assuming you like it
maximized).
4. Move the various review/variable/results/command windows to where
you like them.
5. Select Prefs/Save Windowing Preferences to have the new settings come
up each time.
I hope this is clear and that it helps you as it helped me.

Subject: st: Stata 8.0SE startup - no review or variable windows?
Just installed it. First couple of times had nothing appear in
Results. Restarted computer (Win2000) and those worked, but there's
still
no review or variable windows no matter what I do (even after -update
all-
and reboot). All other windows work fine. When I use the menu to get
them
to open, all Stata windows (including the main program) become
un-highlighted as if it's just loaded an independent (and invisible)
program.
Also, how do I remove the top part of the stata command window like what
was done in 7.0?
Only posting here since I remember seeing something like this in 7.0,
but
didn't find it readily in the archive search. Also curious if this is a
more common bug or due to my Win2000.
