Hey AKR

I haven't tried these things yet, but it's better than nothing.

I'm including the text in case the link goes away.


The solution is the following:
1. Click on the Settings tab of the Display Properties window of your desktop. The
Settings tab will show the physical display arrangement of your Dual or Multiple
Monitor configuration.

2. Make certain that, whichever monitor is designated as your primary monitor (it
doesn’t matter whether it’s monitor number 1, 2, 3 or 4 so long as you have
designated it as your primary) is positioned either to the left of the other monitor(s),
or on top of the other monitor(s). Then your Sterling Trader Pro and Manager will
initially open up onto the primary monitor; furthermore, the locations where you have
placed the various application windows will remain saved and in effect after you
have logged out of and then back into Sterling Trader Pro or Manager again.

3. If your primary/secondary monitor configuration is not set up correctly as just
described above, you can modify it from within this Settings tab screen to attain the
correct configuration; you simply drag the designated primary monitor either to the
left of or on top of, the other secondary monitor(s).

*NOTE*
The technical reason why it is necessary to position the primary monitor either to the left
of the other monitor(s), or on top of the other monitor(s) - is because then it will have
numerically positive position coordinates, beginning at 0/0 ++. If, on the other hand, the
primary monitor is wrongly positioned to the right of or below the other, secondary
monitor(s), then the primary monitor will have numerically negative position coordinates;
it will start at 0/0, but then from that point onward it will move leftward into the negative
(- -) territory. This in turn hinders the ability to save the application window locations
because the primary monitor is supposed to extend the desktop display onto the
secondary monitors. It cannot extend (or save) locations onto numerically negative
coordinates.
