Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Vista Dual Monitor App starts on wrong Monitor

Hello,

I use Vista 32bit Ultimate with UltraMon 3 Beta 2.

I have two Monitors, both of exactly the same type: FS ScaleoView 22" with 1650x1080 on a GForce 8800 GTS 320.

When i close an app on one monitor i expect it to appear again on the same monitor when i start that app again.

This worked fine with my old monitors where one monitor was a 19" with 1280x1024 and the other a 22" one.

Now with both monitors having the same res etc ultramon (or vista?) does not remember anymore the correct position for some apps.

Eg: I close FireFox on primary monitor but the app appears on the secondary monitor the next time i start it. But this only happens to a few apps. Most apps work fine though.

Currently i dont have any clue on why/when this happens/starts to appear.

Any solution/idea?

i forgot to say that this issue happened with Beta 1 as well.

This is an application issue, most applications remember their positions, but some don't.

As a workaround, right-click the application's shortcut, select Properties from the menu, then configure the settings on the UltraMon - Window tab as desired.

Please note that this may not work with all applications, and with Firefox, UltraMon can only position the first browser instance.
