That's really weird. OSR2 or IE4 should not mess up a basic Windows
operation - displaying a window. I have only one idea. When you press enter
or pick "Item Editor" in menu, does the title bar of the main window change?
If it does, it looks like the Item Editor window does appear, but outside
the screen area or something like that. If that's the case, try this:
Launch Registry Editor (regedit.exe). Locate JED key. That should be something
like (I don't remember exactly off-hand):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Code Alliance\Jed
And check the values for IEPos.X, IEPos.Y, IEPos.W, IEPos.H (or something like
that. Maybe IEditPos.XXX). Make sure that they are sensible. X,Y are
coordinates of left top corner of the window, W,H - width and height. Also
check IEditOnTop. 1 means - it always stays on top, 0 - doesn't. Try to alter
these and see if it helps.
I'm afarid that's all I can suggest because to fix this problem I would have
to get OSR2 and install IE 4.01. Not something I'm eager to do.
