Would someone who knows more about OR please check the attached log and see if you can figure out why the map window is no longer working?

Geepster, I posted the same question at Elvas Tower. The answer is to start Open Rails and start driving a train. Use <crtl+9> to open the map window. Then go to the task bar and right click on the window for the map, pick maximise. It should reset the map.Comment

Doesn't Sound exactly like my problem but I'll add it to this thread anyway.
Here's what's happening: I haven't been able to get the Mapview (Ctrl+9) on OR 1.6.1 since its inception, so have kept using 1.5.1. Using regedit in Run as Administrator mode, I change the registry settings to 820,31,1020,855 as has been previously suggested. Open OR 1.6.1 select Ctrl+9 and the Mapview appears...all is good. Close 1.6.1 and then re-open, select Ctrl+9 and Mapview no longer appears. If hover the mouse over the OR icon on the taskbar it shows a window for Mapview but clicking on it will not get it to appear. So it appears that Mapview is open but won't display. I re-open the registry and find that the settings have returned to the original settings.
So why is the registry returning to its original settings instead of retaining the ones that I entered?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated, keeping in mind that my computer knowledge is about C- at the best!
Thanks

This is a bug in OR 1.6 (still present in 1.6.1). When OR is exiting with the Dispatcher/Map window minimized, OR stores the wrong position in the registry (or INI).
A work-around is to never minimize the Dispatcher/Map window (use Alt-Tab to get the main window into the foreground).
The bug is fixed in the Testing version.
