Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

hi all

whenever i open project (my laptop vista home windows), the activities are not showing directly, so i click project menu-activities in order to show it

i have tried it in other computer and its opening directly

what could be the problem? is there any settings i might have changed?

Pinan,
You mean even if you are in Activity Window and press Ctrl+o and open a project it goes back to Project Window?

Sorry Pinan, It’s weird and I haven’t encountered that problem yet. Can you try to open project from the Activity Window if you will have the same problem? (File-> Open or press Ctrl+o)

hi rodel

its not about startup window, my default is activities,

what i am trying to do is after picking up a project that i want to open, i right click then open project at project layout, but activity layout doesn’t show. so i need to click from project menu then activities to open the activity window.

hope you have an idea

thanks

PINAN,

You can set the start up windows under Edit-> Users Preferences then select Application tab. Under Application Startup Window change it to Activities.
