Some senseless babbling from Peter Knapper to All
on 11-06-99  13:52 about Missing Window control......

 PK> Hi Folks,

 PK> My Warp 4 FP9 system has been running fine for many months, however
 PK> about a month ago an odd intermittent problem appeared. After running
 PK> non-stop for several days, the system suddenly loses SOME of the window
 PK> controls, mainly noticed though the MOVE and SIZE functions. Once the
 PK> problem appears, I can no longer move a Window by dragging it from the
 PK> Title line, and the MOVE option on the Window menu no longer turns the
 PK> border into dashes and allows the window to be moved. Similar, I can no
 PK> longer re-size a window that would normally allow this to happen.
[snip]

 PK> Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas on what might be causing
 PK> it? I have not changed anything in the past 3 months that would appear
 PK> to be relevant, but I guess anything is possible...

 PK> Is it possible that a WPS restart might resolve this issue (there was
 PK> no obvious automatic WPS restart), if so is there an easy way to force
 PK> this to happen without a full system shutdown/restart?

I've never seen anything like it.  My first guess would be to suspect a WPS
enhancer as the root cause.

Given what you provided, a WPS restart would likely clear the problem.  If
you can get to a command line, then this is easily accomplished by killing
the second instance of PMSHELL.EXE, with a process killer such as GO.EXE.

If it doesn't want to die (stuck in the exit list), then you'll just have
to reboot.
