Tool palette in DPP will not open

I can't open the tool palette in the main window or the edit window in Digital Photo Professional. I can see the top of it for a split second down by the task bar. I've tried various settings in Preferences, restarting the computer and deleting and reinstalling the program. This makes me think it is a problem with my computer, like it is trying to block a pop up window. I can open other tools like the trimming or stamp tool. The tool palette worked fine when I first installed the program. Anyone have any ideas? I'm hoping it is something real simple and stupid on my part.

My first thought was that somehow it was moved beyond the screen cordinates, but you can set it to dock to the right in edit mode and if it doesn't appear docked in edit mode, I have no clue.

I opened DPP and went to task manager, there is no sub process that opens when the tool palette is opened. When you double click an image, an edit process is opened.

Click an image and go to edit image window via the tool bar, go to tools prefrences and then the Tool Palette tab, make sure tool palette docking in edit image display is set to dock.

Now on the tool bar click tool. Does anything happen. Your image in the window should move or readjust to accomodate the tool palette.

If not, I'd make sure you have original CD, uninstall DPP, make sure you go in and delete the folder if it is still there. Reinstall and take an upgrade.

Could it be you've used a second monitor, and it (tries to) display the tool palette there?

You could try to trash the prefs to restore it to default, or maybe set a different screen size?

That is what I was going to suggest. Temporarily set the highest monitor resolution you can.

That did it, thanks to all. Somehow the tool palette display got moved off the screen.

Still should have shown up docked in edit mode.

It did; I was incorrect in my initial post.
