Cannot make a visible window modal

(1/1)

cyberdiva:
I have no idea what the error message in my subject header means, but when I tried today to set up LBC (version 1.86.01) on my laptop (IBM ThinkPad T40 running WinXP Pro SP2), I installed it, minimized it to the system tray, and then started to configure it.  At one point, I tried to right-click on it to add more nodes in Preferences, and I got an error message box that said "Cannot make a visible window modal."  Since I had no idea what the problem was, I decided to reboot and see whether that helped.  It did not.   I noticed that it had not started with Windows (I suspect I had somehow not checked that option), so I clicked on the destop LBC icon, and I again got the error message.  At that point, I decided to uninstall LBC and start again.  However, before I do, I'd like to understand what had happened so I don't encounter the same problem again.  I should note that I had no trouble installing LBC on my desktop a week or so ago.  It's working beautifully.  That's why I wanted to put it on my laptop as well.

i suspect it has something to do with the new on-top preservation code i've written -- if i can track it down i can fix it easily.

if you can get it to happen reliably on your other pc, i might ask you to preserve those files and settings so i can test my fix :)

Thanks for the quick reply.  I'll see what I can do to duplicate the problem.  :tellme:
