It's hard to remember that far back, but some of the older engines used 
to give that error when nothing else matched. The error you're getting 
just happens to be the first one in the error list. It's probably 
spurious, something else is wrong.

You could try "show stack" instead of "show window" if the stack is 
already open but hidden. If you're trying to show a stack that is still 
on disk, Win 7 has much stricter permissions and not all folders are 
user-accessible any more. Try moving the stack to the Documents folder 
where you have full access.
