Project Browser Disappeared in EA 7.5

[RandyB]

I've tried <Alt> 0, as well as View -> Project Browser. I cannot make Project Browser appear on the right.

I've tried uninstall and repair install. I get the same settings. If I know how to delete the settings file or registry entries, I could just reinstall.

A speedy response would be greatly appreciated. I cannot select on anything in my project to work on, so I'm completely out of business.

I'll answer my own question for completeness...

Control Panel -> Programs -> Uninstall Programs -> Enterprise Architect
Removed C:\Program Files\Sparx Systems
Removed HKCU\Software\Sparx Systems

Reinstalled and everything came up as expected (including Project Browser)

Feature Request: Detect previous installation and ask user to keep (or not) previous settings.

Seems a bit drastic to re-install EA. For future reference you can use the workspace layouts to return to basic layout.
In V8.0 go to menu view>workspace layouts. Think it is similar in V7.5 just a bit more basic.
TIP: When you have layout you want save it as a custom workspace layout so you can return to it should you accidentally change it.

"Missing Project Browser" is quite a regular post on the forum - you could search for previous posts (use the LEFT hand Search button and just search on Project Browser in the message title). It's curious that it always seems to be the PB, because you can easily lose track of any floating window (and even docked windows) in any Windows application. They get stuck behind other applications or tucked into the corners of the alternative monitor screens.

Not sure that Workspace Layouts were available in release 7.5, but you can also create an 'Open Project' shortcut that captures and re-imposes your work environment - look for Shortcut in the Help index.

In EA 7.5, the command to restore the default window layout was View | Visual Layouts | Default Layout.
