sometimes i have an issue with my maintained window... but it's a scrolling issue, where i had accidentally used my mousewheel and scrolled the maintained spells off the viewable area... scrolling up fixed it...

but i don't think the issue you're experiencing is the same thing

Ok i did what Faetyl said and im afraid it vanished like it did before im afraid ive uploaded the maintained file which is Sony's default one and my characters file in a zip Hope you can help :(

P.S Bring a Pizza please

Tryed didnt work sorry

Here's what I did:
1.) I copied your character settings file and renamed to my server and character. (This allowed me to login and see exactly what you see.)

The maintained window was indeed hidden. (Even after pressing F10 to cycle the window backgrounds.

Afterwards, I pressed Alt-M (this toggles the maintaned window on and off)
Once I did that the maintained window appeared in the top right area next to the quest status window. (Note: be sure to have some sort of maintained spell/ability cast or it may not appear. That's why a previous poster recommended pressing F10)

I then attempted to move the window but noticed it had "click through" enabled.
I right clicked the window and disabled that option.
I then moved the window to the lower left verically just above the chat window. (Afterwards I re-enabled Click Through and Locked the window)

I then logged out (Camped to Desktop) then logged back in to see the maintaned window still viewable and where I last placed it.

I'm attaching the window placement file so you can see for yourself. (Just save to the same location where yours is overwriting it.)

SOE has the maintaned window set to be hidden by default.
The only way to change that is by pressing ALT-M to show the window AND move the window to store the updated location in your window placement file (which I believe also stores the fact that you would like it not hidden).

We "as modders" have asked for the window placements file to be plain text for some time.
Our intentions were to help reduce the amount of these issues by making the file easy to edit.
Unfortunately that request has been left unanswered.

If you duplicate the above step I took, you should be able to make the maintaned window viewable (and stay that way) on all your characters.
If for some reason it doesn't work for you, I'm afraid I would suggest contacting SOE technical support for assistance.
Be sure to clearly state that you are using the default interface "unmodified" and that you have deleted your character window placement file.
I'd copy and past this entire thread If I were you. ;)

Hope this resolves you issues and gets you back so you can enjoy the game.
Dispite all the little issues here and their IMO "In My Opinion" it still remains the best MMORPG including those in production and soon to be released.

You know what i love you and i want to have your babies

P.S We still on for the pizza

P.SS How you like the avatar?

lol
So I take it that resoved your issue?

Yes indeed

P.S I still want your babies :D

Scary stuff :p

Faeplex does have a ring to it.. or does it?

Oh and don't forget about the $FD8E !!

Is it caused by [original_uisettings.ini]?
 

Hello,
This problem seems to have been solved, but I introduce a report because I found an interesting report in Japanese UI community.
The thread is here.(japnese)

この問題は解決したようですが、日本のUIコミュニティで興味深いリポートを見つけたのでそのリポートを紹介します。そのスレッドはここです。（日本語）

He spent two months on the problem solving.
He tried various expedients.
He tested deletion of [UI] folder and [xx_xx_eq2uisettings.ini] by instructions of GM.
He installed a client three times again.
However, the problem was not settled.

Therefore he ported an [xx_xx_eq2_uisettings.ini] file from an old PC.
He solved with this method.
He supposes that there is a cause in an [original_uisettings.ini] file from these inspection.
He said that "he wants to inform it that this problem is solved if you ported an [xx_xx_eq2_uisettings.ini] file displayed normally".

彼はその問題解決に２ヶ月をついやしました。
彼は色々な手段を試しました。
GMの指示によりUIフォルダの削除や[xx_xx_eq2_uisettings.ini]も彼は試しました。
彼はクライアントを３度インストールし直しました。
しかし、問題は解決しませんでした。

そこで彼は古いPCから[xx_xx_eq2_uisettings.ini]ファイルを移植しました。
彼はこの方法で解決しました。
これらの検証から彼は[original_uisettings.ini]ファイルに原因があるのではと推測しています。
彼は「この問題は正常に表示されている[xx_xx_eq2_uisettings.ini]ファイルを移植すれば解決する」と伝えたいと言っています。

How about this?
If present [original_uisettings.ini] has a defect, I worry when a problem may occur by an attached [xx_xx_eq2_uisettings.ini] file which was attached to a complete set,because there is a possibility that a [xx_xx_eq2_uisettings.ini] file was built by present [original_uisettings.ini]
It is August 12, 2006 on last update time of my [original_uisettings.ini] file.

いかがでしょうか？
もし今の[original_uisettings.ini]が欠陥を持っているのならば、コンプリートセットの添付[xx_xx_eq2_uisettings.ini]ファイルは今の[original_uisettings.ini]から構築された可能性があるので問題が発生するのではないかと私は心配します。
私の[original_uisettings.ini]ファイルの最終更新日時は2006年8月16日です。

I specify that the report which I introduced includes my poor free translation.
