Spell check window not showing up

Greetings,


I updated to 4.91 and everything seems okay except the popup window for Spell Check does seem to show up when I start it. It does not sure up in Pmail's list of windows. (I am not sure it did before). It give no error. In fact, the first time I start it it seems to start and highlights the first suspicious word.


I do have multiple screens but it doesn't seem to show up on any screen.


With older versions it would show up on a different window at times or across two.


Thank you for any help/ideas. I am happy to try or do whatever I can to help resolve this. I have been using Pmail for decades and love it.

You don't say which Windows version you are using but here are two alternatives for Windows 11, assuming the Help system is starting but is somewhere offscreen.


Method 1:


  • Hover over the "Pegasus Mail Help System" entry in the Taskbar.
  • Right-click in the window preview that appears (hopefully you don't have this disabled in Win11), select the "Move" option.
  • Move your cursor away from the taskbar and notice that it has turned into a cross with arrows on all ends.
  • Tap one of your keyboard arrow keys and notice your cursor return to normal.
  • On movement you will see that you are dragging a minimized Help system window.
  • Left-click to drop the minimized window.
  • Grabs its corners to stretch it to the desired size. Position it as desired.

Method 2 (edit STATE.PMJ):

  • With Pegasus Mail closed, remove the PMHELP5= entry in STATE.PMJ.The next time the Help system is called it will open in its default location and size.

Thank you for the quick response.


I am, indeed, using Windows 11 (fully patched).


It seems to be working now. It may have just been a glitch when first used the feature. I should have saved my email to a draft and restarted Pmail to test it. Since re-opening Pegasus Mail it seems to be functioning as expected.


Thanks again for the help.
