I re-installed Clarion 11.1.13810 on my computer, re-installed all of my extensions. Now when I compile my applications, they compile without any errors but they do not open. the EXE file is active in the task manager but just does not display.

check if you have an ini with screen position settings.

Looking into the issue further, I found that after upgrading to the latest codejock and Noyantis templates the ActiveX files (ocx) were not getting registered. I ran the registar program from codejock and now my apps work after a compile.
