Bug 2) Blue Iris does not appear on the screen after running it.
Some people have reported that Blue Iris 5 started fine one time and then failed to appear on screen again after closing and reopening. If this happens to you, you will need to do some simple Windows Registry modification.
Open Windows's Registry Editor (Start Menu > Search for "regedit"), and in the text box along the top, paste this and push enter:
Code:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Perspective Software\Blue Iris\WindowMetrics
This will load the spot in the registry where Blue Iris stores its window position. Likely yours got corrupted somehow, so you may see some wild values for "Left", "Top", "Width", and "Height". You could try editing these manually, but it is easier to just
1) Kill the blueiris.exe process.
2) Delete the WindowMetrics folder entirely in the registry editor.
3) Run Blue Iris 5 again.
