hi, im new here and recently joined today and bought the 3 classic Fallout games and set up the download manager and adobe air and queued all 3 downloads and after ten minutes i click the shortcut and it doesnt pull up but it says its running. i know its running because i see the download and since im running windows 7 i can scroll over it and see it in a tiny preview window but i need to figure out how to show it on my screen and i tried TONS of different options to see if they would help but its a no go
any help would be most appreciated

Have you tryed clicking or double clicking on the tiny preview window?

I don't think Windows 7 is supported officially (yet), either by the download manager and AIR.
First Guess would be
Task Manager - Right Click on the App - Bring to Front

It's not cool to bump a post made just 41 minutes ago.

you might also be able to get to it with the Windows+TAB shortcut for that flippy 3d selection whatchamahoozits (to use its correct name), I've noticed in vista that it occasionally allows access to things that ALT+TAB doesn't

Try to focus the window, then press Alt+Space, m, left
Hold down left for a while: This will try to move the window left. On 7, the window (after you pressed one of the directional keys) also follows the mouse cursor.

Windows 7 does not support a lot of things yet, so if you want to be sure that all GOG products works, you should seriously go back to XP or Vista.

7 is just Vista on steroids. Aside from some small changes to the window manager, it's pretty much the same as Vista.

i dont think so, you should seriously try it before telling me to go obsolete. every program i have ever run has worked entirely great with no hiccups or compatibility problems so i have no reason to waste my money on buying vista or reinstalling xp

Basically, you're asking for support of an officially unsupported OS in beta. And no, just because "other programs run well" it doesn't mean that "all programs should run well". It's great that Windows 7 beta is working great for you, but if some things suddenly turn out to not work so great, don't expect a lot of support.

Doesn't really matter does it? The advice about 7 was a bit off and so was pingas' reply, but nothing to get excited about.

Oh, I'm not terribly excited, but the name UK_John did briefly flash through my mind :-/
