This page describes solutions and workarounds to common issues running PSICAT and the associated SchemeEditor application on Windows.

Windowing Issues

PSICAT Runs But Window Doesn't Appear

At launch, PSICAT restores the most recent size and position of its main window. If the window was last placed in a secondary monitor that is no longer available (e.g. you have a multi-monitor setup in your office but are currently using your laptop on the road), it will not appear.

To resolve this issue, you'll need to delete the preference items that maintain the last known window size and position.

Steps:

  1. Make sure PSICAT is closed.

  2. Run regedit.exe. On Windows 10, you can type "regedit" into search (the magnifying glass icon on the lower-left). For earlier Windows versions, use the instructions here: https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001348.htm#openreg

  3. Navigate to the following path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/JavaSoft/Prefs/psicat

  4. When you select the psicat folder, you should see a list of items on the right, including:

  • psicat.main/View/Height
  • psicat.main/View/Width
  • psicat.main/View/X
  • psicat.main/View/Y

  1. Select those four items, right click, choose Delete, and confirm. Exit regedit.

  2. Launch PSICAT. It should now appear up in your main window.
