 +One possibility is that the window is positioned outside the visible screen.\\ 
 + 
 +**Remedy:** 
 + 
 +Click Rocview in the taskbar. Then, hold down the “Windows key” on the keyboard and press the left (or right) arrow on the keyboard up to three times. This causes the invisible window to be placed on the screen in one of three positions: attached to the right side, attached to the left side, or in the middle.

 +===== Replacing a defective track plan or returning to an earlier version =====
 +  * **Prerequisite:** At least one backed up track plan file must exist in a backup directory (**''backup''**) \\ See __**[[rocrailini-gen-en#backup|Backup]]**__ in the Rocrail properties.
 +
 +If the track plan of a workspace is damaged or a revert to an earlier version of the track plan is wanted, the following steps are recommended:
 +  - Exit Rocrail (Rocview and server) completely. 
 +  - From the subdirectory **''backup''** of the workspace __copy__ the file with the desired version (timestamp :!:) into the workspace. 
 +  - In the workspace delete the (old or damaged) track plan file that is to be replaced.
 +  - From the copied file remove the timestamp in the file name: **''20120824160729833-plan.xml''** --> **''plan.xml''**.
 +  - Restart Rocview and if necessary Rocrail server. \\ When opening the workspace the track plan with the data status of the saved version is now active.
