OK Snowman, I copied my 'default' workspace to another folder. Then I held F8 down while loading CD9. Yes to use Corel's default workspace. The dockers work just great now but of course I don't have any of my customized settings. So I copied the backup over the 'default' and the dockers are messed up again. I guess I'll just re-load with Corel defaults and rebuild all my settings.

There is one setting I cannot duplicate though. Quite a while back someone in this forum posted a way to have the blend docker on the effects menu bar and when resetting the last time, about 6 months ago, I have not been able to figure it out. I've gotten a blend button there but it does nothing. What I'm trying to accomplish is the blend docker window with the number of steps box visible so I can get to that setting with just one click in my menu bar under effects. But that is for another subject. Sorry to enter this here.
