CONTROL.INI [MMCPL] Section Can Make Control Panel Disappear (87288)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q87288 SYMPTOMS
If the X= and/or Y= entry in the [MMCPL] section of the CONTROL.INI
file is negative, Control Panel may appear to not start, and you
receive no error messages.
CAUSE
The X= entry in the CONTROL.INI file is the horizontal window coordinate
and the Y= entry is the vertical window coordinate. When these numbers are
negative, the Control Panel starting location is off the edge of the
screen.
To correct this problem, use a text editor (for example, Notepad), to open
the CONTROL.INI file and change any negative numbers to positive numbers.
