Kai,
Thank you for responding. What you told me helped me solve my problem. The problem was that when I turned on Developer tools it was opening in a minimized state so even though the seperate GUI was opening, it didn't look like anything was there. The only clue I had was that the developer gui was showing down in the task bar with the same page title but different icon (a cursor pointer between brackets). It's working now! Thanks.

Check your assumption. Typically the window is not "in a minimized state". It is either positioned off screen or so small that it can be easily overlooked. > The only clue I had was that the developer gui was > showing down in the task bar with the same page title but different icon (a > cursor pointer between brackets). A key clue would be in window's menu for which of its items are active. In particular if Move or Size are active you can use them and make your hidden window visible again. Another option in such a circumstance is to use the Taskbar's Cascade or Tile commands. First minimize all your windows. E.g. press Win-D. Then Restore the problem window. Then use either the Cascade or the Tile command. Cascade of a single window just restores it to its default size and position and a Tile maximally sizes a window in normal mode.
