In a recent course 3 of 5 pc's all with the full suite installed showed a strange behaviour of EntryClient and Manager. The exe apparently started and was running, but not to be found on the screen. I suspected a wrong position failure, but could not access the place where the ini file is placed.
What we did then was to copy only the exe file to another folder, eg a subfolder of the desktop. And then it worked. I am annoyed by not knowing the mechanism behind. The analysis did not show the same problem.
We will discuss in the core group what to do. Maybe a completely different dll and place of ini on startup could be a solution to implement and test in the coming release.
How important is it for users that we have user defined place on screen at startup. If we had a default startup in the middle of the screen some problems would be avoided. E.g. when you sometimes use two external screens and forget to move to screen 1 on a laptop .
Any idea or consideration is welcomed.

Dear list, I have also had problems starting Manager and Entryclient. Thank you for pointing at the Libeay32.dll. I am not an expert on this, and need some advice:
The file is part of any EpiData installation. Renaming it to something else makes the application start as a first time execution, and I am asked to select a working directory etc, and after that is done once, the program seems to work normally.
However, there are other application folders that contain the same library. When I copied one of these files into the EpiData directory as suggested in a former post, the ssleay32.dll file reported an error.
I would therefore highly appreciate advice on how to correctly deal with this issue.
PS: I organize my project as separate installations where both data and executables are kept in their own folder structure. Is this a problem - maybe a wrong instance of the library is executed? DS
