Missing icon for "WALLS". Also Library does not open to show items.
1. The icon to select walls is missing from the toolbar. How do I get it back?
2. My library does not display when I click the icon or type Ctrl L. It may be displaying on my side monitor that is not being used anymore - just a thought.
If that is the case how do I move it to my main monitor?
3. I am developing a large file for a triplex, but when I send the elevations to layout, or re-open from layout and close - "yes", it displays with an incomplete re-draw and says 'not enough calc memory'. Is there a way to tap into more memory?
I have been using Chief since '97 and have never had these problems before.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi Neighbor.
I don't have XP, but give this a try to correct the library browser window from opening up on the now non-existent 2nd monitor.
Right-Click in open area of desktop, select Properties. Click Settings tab.
Select the missing monitor in the drop-down box,
Uncheck "Extend my Windows desktop to this monitor" Click Ok.Kind Regards,

Chief normally tries to force things on screen if they are off screen. Of course if you turn off a monitor or unplug it and don't tell the OS that you did so then you would have a problem. Resetting locations is a good method of getting things back to a reasonable state.

Thank you all for your input.
1. Preferences...Appearance...Library Browser...Restore Position/Size defaults was the answer to the Library problem - had to close program and re-open.
2. Still do not have the walls icon.
3. Still lacking processing oomph!!
