  • 1.  Specific SPSS analyses window not opening (but other analyses do)

    Hi Everyone,

    Yesterday was using SPSS v 29 like usual, today the analyses i was running are not popping up in a window (hence can't run those analyses). Specifically, i click:

    • Analyse > Descriptive Statistics > Explore and no window pops open to run the analyses.
    • Analyse > General Linear Model > Repeated Measures and no window pops up. 
      • But i can hit Analyse > Descriptive Statistics and any of the other options (e.g. Frequencies, descriptives, etc) and a window pops open.
      • same with Univariate or Multivariate ANOVA's

    I've tried: 1) closing and opening SPSS, 2) restarting computer, 3) uninstalling and re-installing SPSS, 4) moving the files location to a new computer only (rather than cloud location), 5) contacting my works IT support, 6) emailed IBM support who suggested coming here.  

    Has anyone encountered this problem before?

    Thank you for your time.

    Statistics remembers window and dialog box positions, including between sessions, so it might be that a change in screen resolution or a second monitor that is not in use later might result in those items being off screen.  Try using Window > Reset Dialogs and Positions.

    That fixed it :). Thank you Jon for your feedback!

    Hi, Jon. I'm having the same problem but the "Window > Reset Dialogs and Positions" isn't working for me. "Descriptive Statistics" also doesn't work for me. Do you have other suggestions, Sir?

    If you are on Windows, look at the Windows Task View (on the Windows toolbar) to see if there is a offscreen window.  Task View will show all the desktop windows .
