Glenn,
I found the windows hiding off-screen to the left.
Strange that I can't get them to hide behind any other windows. In 7.0 I
could always hit [ctrl][1] to get them to go behind the results window,
but not, so far, in 8.0. You're correct, I like having my Stata
maximized with each window having its own space.
Thanks!
Kaleb...

1. Unmaximize the Stata application and pull the application window (by

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.

It seems the problem as Glenn suggested, is related to Stata's
default windowing, particularily on systems where the screen
resolution is 800x600. I think the work around that Glenn
mentioned is very good so I won't re-state it here. We are
aware of the problem and are currently working on a solution
that will be available soon. The solution will likly involve
detecting screen resolutions below 1024x768 and changing the
default windowing accordingly.
Regarding the removal of the top part of the Stata command
window, like what was done in 7.0. I think Kaleb is refering
to the use of -set cmdtitle off-. This was a work around
introduced in Stata 7 addressing a problem that was related
to using the mouse in the command window on Windows 2000
and XP platforms. It is my understanding that it was just a
temporary fix made available until a more sutable solution
could be made available.
