Hi Joel,
I've never seen this happen but perhaps you've shoved it off of Origin's desktop somehow. You can reset it's size/position to installation defaults like this...
1. Close Origin and open Origin.ini in Notepad.
2. Locate the [WinPos] section and delete or comment out (add a semicolon at beginning) the line starting with ScriptWindow=.
3. Save and close Origin.ini and start Origin.
4. Open script window as usual. Should appear with same size/position it had when you installed Origin.

I don't think this is the problem, because I tried commenting the script window section and nothing changed. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Joel |

Hi Joel,
As Origin 6.1 was released before Windows XP, they are not a supported combination. This might be an operating system-related problem with that old version....
As an experiment, what happens if you do the following procedure?:
1) Click the Text tool("T"), and click in a worksheet to show the Text Control dialog box.
2) Enter, say, "Hello", and click OK.
3) ALT+Double-Clicking the text label to show the Label Control dialog.
4) Enter "type -a Hello;" in the text box, and choose "Button Up" for Script, Run After. Click OK. The label will be changed to a button.
5) Click the button.
The above "type -a" forces Origin to show the Script window. Did it do so? If it didn't, maybe now may be the time to consider uninstall-and-reinstall your Origin....

Clicking this button does not make the script window appear either. As the problem seems to be some sort of glitch, perhaps I will take your advice and reinstall Origin. Thank you for your time.

| I had a similar problem. I closed and re-opened the program and then clicked the Window tab on the toolbar and selected "script window." worked for me, best of luck. |

Thank you, Eagleba91 for telling us your experience.
For people who still have a similar problem, the following steps may also work:
1) Choose "View: Toolbars" menu. ("Toolbars" tab is opened in the dialog.)
2) Press "Reinitialize" button. Close the Custom Toolbars dialog.
