Dual Monitors

[jaygreg]

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.

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.

Quicken is auto-save, Dave. No separate option.

Guys,

How about after setting the displays as wanted, do a File, Save; couldn't
hurt.

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.
