On Windows 7 64-bit, un-checked Fullscreen Mode and restarted game. Game process started, music is (intermittently) audible, thumbnail of game screen is visible by mousing over icon in task bar. However, game window itself does not open. No debug.err present; presumably the game thinks it's running just fine.

If it's the same problem, the window is off the side of the screen. If the posted fix (re-docking task bar) doesn't work, you probably have to edit Prefs.ini and change the resolution (e.g. to your native resolution) or reenable full-screen mode.
Ah ha. My search didn't turn that one up, somehow. I haven't tried redocking yet, but can confirm that windowed mode at native resolution DOES start correctly for me. It's not really 'windowed' at that size, but it does allow alt-tab, which was my original goal.
I was able to reproduce this problem and fix it. It was a bug in the code that allows you to force Elemental to start in a secondary monitor.
Ah ha! I wondered if it might tie in to that, when it was pointed out that the window opened off the right side of the screen. Thanks!
