Sorry for another Windows 8 question. Unfortunately this is my new reality.

Since upgrading to a new machine, I am not able to view debug notifications from Xpression. It does not show up as an available notification in the Windows Notification Area Icons menu. As you can imagine this will make debugging more difficult. In Xpression preferences, I have checked Enable Debug Monitor for Scripting, but I do not get a notification in my task bar when it hits that engine.debugmessage("Debug Text",1) in the script with 0, 1 or 2 messagetype.

Anyone else on Windows 8? Is there any workaround to manually pull this window up within the program? I see a Status Log window in the sequencer, but that does not display this kind of notification, from what I can tell.

Thanks,

Mike

I have now reimaged and gone back to windows 7. Weird thing is, I still don't get debug notifications. I definitely have enabled Debug notifications in the advanced preferences menu. Any ideas?

If you are on a domain, they can be disabled by a Group Security Policy by the domain administrator.. Not sure why anyone would though..

I can't think of any other reason you wouldn't get a debug message (windows calls them Balloon messages).

What if you manually run the "XPression Debug Monitor"? (you will find it in the Start menu)

Thanks for your help Brian. As it turns out, the debug monitor does not get installed with Xpression Designer. So I installed Xpression Studio which gave me the debug monitor. Now when I run designer and test scripts I can use the debug monitor as before.

Thanks Brian.
