Attached is my ugly solution to the windows 7 link editor problem. This object installs a button. When you left click the button any undocked link editor windows are quickly sized down then up again. This makes for a kind of crude refresh for the LE window. Push the button again to stop the refresh cycle. If you right click a panel will display in the panel view where you can control the amount of pause between refreshes.
This only works with floating LE windows. If you convert a floating window like a 3d view to a LE view it still won't refresh. The floating window has to start out as a LE window.

Re: win7 LE workaround
Hey Clinton?
Just curious if this included RefreshWindowID script works in WIN7 for tS761.
If not does shrinking and expanding the split window work?

Re: win7 LE workaround
If the previous posted script does not work here is a simular script that uses your method. The idea here is that it works in Docked Windows too. HTH

Re: win7 LE workaround
The first one doesn't make any difference. The second one makes the whole screen flash and leaves a messy LE. I had this in the original but docked windows look terrible with the resize/refresh method. Image shows how it picks up whatever was under the window.

Thanks, this really helped.
However, It still wont let me load the Viperfish into the Link Editor.

Re: win7 LE workaround
I think your question is puzzling. Can you be more specific?
You also might want to start a new thread regarding your problem so that your
problem can be better focused on.

Re: win7 LE workaround
hey, i've tried all of your solutions. nothing. here's what's happening: for some reason the 2d window (mounted as default at bottom of screen, containing light sources) is freezing. I just stated following the organics course videos and cant get past this problem. the window itself freezes independently and leaves trails. I've reinstalled which did nothing. wondering if there's something else i can do to fix it. maybe running it in in unix?

Re: win7 LE workaround
Not sure if this is what you are looking for Saul?
I downloaded it years ago but didn't need it when I got a win7 pc, as I haven't had any LE problems.
