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?

Tis worked! You must first close the permanently-minimized application (make sure it is closed through Task Manager) - then edit as Bill describes, using this as the entire text for the INI fle:
[GUI]
WindowWidth=602
WindowHeight=332
WindowX=42949
WindowY=42949
VisibleTab=0
ConnectionAttribute=0
AdvancedView=1
LogWindowWidth=451
LogWindowHeight=501
LogWindowX=1082
LogWindowY=177
DefaultConnectionEntry=AP-VPN-Credential
Then re-start the app. Phew!
All,
All these seem way too complex a fix to this issue.
When this happens to me - all I do is choose Options --> Simple Mode. Typically, the VPN client minimizes itself again, so I maximize it, and then I choose Options --> Advanced Mode. Works like a charm every time.

This worked for me. vpnclient.ini was the culprit. Since I'm running x64 this is located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\VPN Client"
I deleted the 2 lines:
WindowsX
WindowY
Restarted the client and it was visible again! Thank you.
