I used to have 2 monitors, the last time I used this program it must have been opened on the 2nd monitor, and now still opens on the phantom screen. When I left click on the program on the task bar I can see the animation of it going off my screen. :mad:

Any ideas since I don't have the 2nd monitor anymore?

Thanks

hi jimmy,

if you right-click on your desktop and click 'screen resolution', do you have two monitors there or one?

if there are two, then select 'Show desktop only on 1' from the multiple displays drop-down menu.

hope this helps.

You can move the lost window, here's how... If you have Aero active, click the app icon in the taskbar, it will show you the mini preview of the open window, on that mini preview, right click it's "title bar" click "Move". Once you click "Move" DO NOT MOVE YOUR MOUSE just yet, click one of the directional arrows on your keyboard (I like the right arrow) ONCE, then you can move your mouse. The arrow clicking action will "stick" the window to your mouse cursor. See if it helps...

This solved the problem, thanks!

hi jimmy,

if you right-click on your desktop and click 'screen resolution', do you have two monitors there or one?

if there are two, then select 'Show desktop only on 1' from the multiple displays drop-down menu.

hope this helps.

I have only one monitor
