Download the latest tools form Microsoft or run repair on your current installation.

How to fix

by Brandon.stocks In reply to

This sounds like the problem I had. What is causing the problem is a dialog box that is "stuck" behind the TSM window. To get to this "stuck" box go to the properties of the TSM icon and tell it to run Maximized. This will allow the dialog box to appear in front of the tms. Check the do no show this information again and this will fix your problem. You can then change the icon setting back to run in normal window.

I experienced the same problem with Terminal Services Manager. When I started it, it appeared on the Task Bar & did not appear in a window on the desktop. Furthermore, right-clicking on its Task Bar entry yielded no menu (when TSM is working properly you'll see the usual Restore/Move/Size/Minimize/Maximize/Close menu).

To solve the problem, I right-clicked on the TSM entry in 'Start/Administrative Tools/Terminal Services Manager' & selected Properties. In the Shortcut tab I changed the Run attribute to Maximized (mine was set to 'Normal window').

I then started TSM, & it appeared in a maximized window.

To prevent TSM from always appearing maximized, I resized it to a size less than maximized, closed it, reselected its Properties & reverted its run attribute to 'Normal window'.

I suspect that TSM's restored window position somehow became corrupted. I run on a dual monitor system which may have contributed to the problem.

I observed the problem on Windows Server 2003.

FIX

by vinoling In reply to Terminal Services Manager

Logged in as yourself, go to this registry key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server
\TSADMIN

Delete the "Placement" value and exit Regedit.

Now run the Terminal Services Manager and you should be able to
see and use it.

The problem is that at some point the TSM window position settings
were saved in a high-resolution session; with it running in a low-
resolution session, those values position it off the viewable
screen.
