Default Chessbase Light bug? How to activate the board window? Board window disappeared!

After using ChessBase Light for years with no problem, for some reason
the board window has diappeared.

Any ideas how to activate? I tried reinstalling it to no avail.

THe only thing I did was uninstall an old Fritz program, but I doubt
the programs share .DLLs Maybe it's time I switch to SCID if I don't
hear anything from here...

I tried SCID and found it lacking since there's no way to make the
Analysis window "stick" to the main window; instead it remains as a
child window that is reduced, making it hard to see side by side with
the main window.

You can minimize the anlysis window with Scid, but I have no problem
having board and analysis windows visible at the same time ...

What OS? I am running Windows XP. I disinstalled the otherwise
excellent SCID program since I could not keep both windows visible at
the same time.

Hi,

Can I rephrase your mesage this way?
"SCID Analysis windows needs 'Always on top' option
which current SCID doesn't have."

Then you can put Analysis window on main windows all the time.

dajava,

I am running Windows XP and show both at the same time... maybe you are
seeking an "always on top" feature so no other newly spawened windows can
cover it up?
