Dual Monitors
I use dual monitors on my Windows XP Professional system and have had
Quicken 2008 open on the left monitor. Some time ago, I managed to move the screen to the right monitor but I've never been able to move it back as default. Can someone please give me a clue. I've dragged the Quicken window to the left monitor, shut the program down, restarted it, but it appears on the right (which is a bit smaller) monitor every time I open the program. I'm out of ideas. |

I would suggest this:
Open up the desired program. Put it to the screen you would like. Maximize it, resize it so it does not take up the whole screen, and then once more, maximize it. Then shut down the program properly (usually through file - exit) and try to reopen the program.

Guys,
How about after setting the displays as wanted, do a File, Save; couldn't hurt. "Raj" wrote in message ... I would suggest this: Open up the desired program. Put it to the screen you would like.

There are some nice utilities that allow you to snap programs from one monitor to another. If you use an ATI video card their Hydravision program works really well. There are some shareware programs that do the same thing, such as UltraMon. |

Didn't work, Raj. I still have the problem.

Dual Monitors
Thanks for the info, Randy. I do this a lot and have no problem with any
program behaving properly... except Quicken 2008. I'm puzzled. "Randy" wrote in message ... "jaygreg" wrote in message ...
