Hey folks, I've been a lurker on the board for a while. I'm having a bit of a problem, I have three monitors. a 20", a 17" and a 15" all different resolutions, 20 = 1600x1200 17 = 1280x1024 15 = 1024x768
they would line up fine at the top, but for the life of me, I can't get them to line up at the bottom.
Their location must be saved in the registry somewhere, doesn anyone know where?
Thanks RedEyez

I assume you're running them all at their native resolution, and in regular landscape mode.
You can only align them within their individual pixel counts. For example, the 20" is 1200 pixels high, and the 17" is 1024 pixels high, so you can align the 17" along any 1024 pixels out of the total 1200 pixels of the 20"; therefore, if you align their tops, their bottoms won't align, and if you align their bottoms, their tops won't align, and if you align their centers, neither their tops nor bottoms will align, since the 20" has more vertical pixels than the 17".
(Of course, you adjust their alignments by moving them around in display properties.)
If you ran the 17" in regular landscape mode, and rotated (both physically and virtually) the 15" so that it was running in portrait mode, then their vertical pixel counts would match (1024 to 1024), and they could be fully aligned. Or if you ran the 20" in regular landscape mode, and the 17" in portrait mode, they would almost match (1200 to 1280), so they could come very close to fully aligning.
