I used 5.0.07.0240 cisco client vpn for 1 mth with my windows 7 -64 bit pc. Worked fine for 1 mth. Suddenly today when I double click on the icon to start it up, VPN automatically minimizes down to the task bar with a status of Disconnected. It does not give you the option to hit connect or anything before it minimizes. I have not seen this before and made no changes..but now it just doesnt work. Any solutions??? Did windows just patch automatically breaking cisco?
Unfortunately, cisco does not provide world class technical service....called them up but no use.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
No need to upgrade. The problem can be found in the file vpnclient.ini, probably located in the directory "C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\VPN Client".
There are probably som really high values in the logwindX and logwindowy values. Just delete these lines and start the client again.

Thanks Jonas
No high values in logwindX and logwindY but very high values in these lines:
WindowX=4294935296
WindowY=4294935296
When deleting them it solves my problem. Thanks!!!!
I believe there is now a released version of the x64 client you should download.
If you suspect a Windows Update, why not try a system restore to a day it was
working correctly?

I had the same problem, I tried changing the values as JBergman suggested which didn't work, but...... I deleted the vpnclient.ini file and it started working fine.
I recently had another strange issue sudddenly occour as well, my SoftPhone stopped working on campus but it works remotely. WOnder if there are ghost in the machine.
In VPNclient.ini, change the value of connectonopen and minimizeonconnect to 0 first, launch vpn client, then resize the windows.
This worked for me.
I had the same problem, but it wasn't my logwindX and logwindowy values that were large, it was the WindowX and WindowY numbers. I changed them both to 42949 and lauched the VPN GUI successfully WindowWidth=602 WindowHeight=332 WindowX=42949 WindowY=42949 VisibleTab=0 ConnectionAttribute=0 AdvancedView=1 LogWindowWidth=451 LogWindowHeight=501 LogWindowX=1082 LogWindowY=177
