Description
After starting the analyzer software you cannot open a view (DataView, ProtocolView, etc) window anymore. If you start them via the launch button or via the 'View' menu in the control program - nothing happens. You tried to restart the software, even your computer but the result is always the same.
The reason is often a corrupted default project file. This sometimes happens when you get a analyzer project (file with extension msbprj) from a colleague with extremly different windows/desktop settings. For instance with a different screen resolution which leads to default positions outside of your screen. A protocol template name with spaces within also can cause this behavior since the template name is stored in the project too.
Solution
Force the analyzer software to start with an empty project. Under Windows:
- Right click the start button or press WIN+X again
- Choose 'Command prompt'
Within Linux: Open a terminal or console.
Afterwards start the application with:
msb_serv --empty
