I have found that by checking the file browser…. exiting elements and then reopening elements it pops up. No idea why, but I freaked David House out with that. He thought I was psychic. It just worked that way.
I don’t know if you have the same problem that I do, but usually when I open the Browser it doesn’t seem to be there on the screen, but there is a narrow blue line at the bottom of the screen which I can pull up with the cursor and, lo and behold, it’s the Browser. If you see no line at all at the bottom after doing File>Browse, hit the Tab key and see if you don’t see the Browser then. After pulling the Browser up hit the Tab key again to get the Tools, etc. back on screen.
Chris,
I suspect that you are suffering from "browser creep" — a symptom which develops as you start and stop PE2 on a PC.
One way to proceed would be to click Window > Reset Palette Locations.
The way I do it when my browser creeps off the screen is to switch my PE2 window from "Maximized" to "Restored" size. Then, I can just see the upper edge of the Browser window enough to drag it back up into the work area. I prefer this method because I have my palettes "just so" and don’t want to reset everything.
No one knows why (or ADMITS that they know why!) it happens, but when your installation develops this problem, the Browser window opens a bit lower every time you have cycled PE2 off/on, until finally it opens below the visible threshold of the work area. It only happens on PCs.
HTH,

JoAn and Anne,
All together now….

WOW! we all answered at once!
JoAn, Anne, Byron…………….You folks are great!!!! I felt like a bloody idiot. When I reopened to check on things, Anne’s experience is exactly what I had….the "narrow blue line". I also notice the browser creep that Byron talks about…..my File>Open screen had the bottom lopped off, but JoAn’s solution fixed it. I really appreciate you all helping out…Viele Grüße aus Santa Fe, NM.
Great news, Chris.
Don’t be a stranger!!
