function palette off screen

My function palette was moved on to a secondary monitor. I no longer have that monitor and cannot see the functions palette. I've gone in to the labview.ini file (in the Program Files/National Instruments/Labview 2011 directory)  but cannot find an entry that sets the function palette position. I did see in another post  that there was supposed to be such an entry for the tool palette, but can't find that either) How can I get the function palette back on screen?

Off-hand I'm not sure, but in the interim you can just right-click on the BD and pin the resulting palette.  I think the old one will still be off screen, but at least you'll have something to work with.

Have you tried shutting off the secondary monitor in your video settings?  That should force everything back to the primary.

Close LabVIEW

 

Open LabVIEW.ini

 

Find this Line

 

saveFloaterLocations=True

 

Delete that line in your .ini, save the file, then relaunch LabVIEW.  All better?

 

@Niquist- Oh Absolutely that is a true statement! unfortunately "Should" isn't "Does"  (I'm pretty sure there is a CAR about that):smileywink:
