On PG5 2.0 the properties window of the Device Configurator is missing

FAQ #101766

 

Problem description
On PG5 2.0 it's possible that under certain circumstances the property window of the device configurator is no longer visible (or lost).
Also a un- and reselect of the view option in the PG5 project manager, doesn't change anything.

Restarting PG5 or the Device Configurator and also uninstalling and re-installing does not help to get the disappeared window back.

Solution:
Restore the default settings of the Device Configurator:

• Close PG5 2.0
• Make sure the hidden files are displayed on your PC (refer to the link below in case you don't know how to configure this)
• Browse to the following path:
  - For Windows XP:
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Saia-Burgess\PG5_20\
  - For Windows Vista, Windows 7:
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Saia-Burgess\PG5_20\
• Arrange the files by name
• Delete or cut all files starting with SDevConfs52 (about 2 files)
• Restart PG5 2.0
• The default settings are restored and the property window of the device configurator is visible again
