Freedome window not visible after update

in F-Secure FREEDOME

After a recent Freedome update I find that the Freedome window is no longer displayed, I just see a small white rectangle on screen.  The system tray shows Freedome is present and ON and I can select other locations successfully but the main dialog fails to display. 

This is on Windows 7.  I've tried restarting the laptop, and also shutting down Freedome using the system tray icon menu and then restarting Freedome from the desktop icon.  The results are always the same: system tray icon appears and message saying I'm protected but no main dialog window when I click on the taskbar icon, or  when I select Help or About from the system tray icon menu.

When it starts up I also see a brief pop up from the system tray announcing a Happy Anniversary offer.

    Hi EliasH,

     

    Welcome to our Community.

     

    May I know in which OS you installed Freedome on? And which version of Freedome is installed currently?

    Is there any error message seen when you try to open it?

     

    Thank you

    Windows 7

     

    And ther's no error message. Only that white box when I try to get the Freedome window visible.

     

    And that's why I can't type my code to get the Freedome to work so I have it just installed but not working.

    Please clarity: Is it the Freedom Icon in system tray you are talking about or the real Freedome program window?

    I have not seen the icon for a while and cannot tell if Freedome is on or not (the setting is not to start Freedome when Windows starts) but the Freedome service is started automatically.

    It is the real Freedome program window.

    My problem the icon not displaying in the system tray is solved.

     

    Once I got Freedome Protection turned on the icon is visible in the system tray. It is in the bottom row so when the mouse is hovering over it the text in the popup buble is not visible.
