Hello all, I'm a long time user of BI and long time lurker, but now I need help.
I've been using BI 3.66 with just 2 cameras for several years now, and though I use very little of BI, I brag it up every chance I get because it's a terrific piece of software. And I'm learning as I go. Problem is, recently I added 2 more cams (and have a couple more to add shortly). The four cams display on the main screen in different sizes and not aligned. Looks bad when I try to show my setup to others. I'm able to display the controls toolbar across the bottom of the main window, but it's blank except for the little sample (I guess) box it contains. Nothing else in it. I've read help files and forum conversations until I'm getting eye strain, trying to find the way to get the toolbar to display as shown in the help file. Thats in: "Camera Windows", "Window Layout" but nothing there to indicate how to display or not display the different controls. I think it might have all been there originally and I may have turned it off somehow. I've checked "Show PTZ controls" in the little drop down menu and in the "Layout" drop down I've checked "1:2" and "2-up". I sure would appreciate somebody steering me in the right direction. By the way, I don't have a PTZ camera.
