Jeff,

Are you using a desk top or a lap top?

Tell me about the display.

Could it be that VARA is running but you just can't see the graphic?

Look at the VARA.ini file in the VARA directory and see that values are
in the Position section. The listing is Top Position = (value) and Left
Postion = (value) The numbers are indicating the number of pixels from
the top left corner of the screen to the top left corner of the VARA
graphic display. If the value shown is larger than the pixel size of
your display, the graphic won't be visible, it will be "off screen".

(In Windows 10, click the Start icon and type Display, then look for the
resolution setting. You should be using the recommended setting. The
VARA Position settings should be about half of the Windows numbers to be
visable on the screen.)

The top left corner of your display is 0,0. You can edit this file with
your text editor (note pad). Shut down RMS Express and the VARA modem
before editing the file. Put a number like 20 in both position values
and save the file. Restart VARA and RMS Express and see if the position
of the graphic remains on the screen.

Also, does RMS Express start the VARA modem itself, or do you have to
start it manually? I've read that if you start it manually, you should
start VARA modem first.

Just a thought. This may not be the problem at all, but it's worth checking.
