I am having awful problems on my dual screen display with Windows apps created with Blitzplus. If I change the display settings, I can lose windows previously associated with my Blitzplus apps. This happens to both my apps and to others (such as Blitvision). Why should this be so, and is there a fix?

Well, if you can network two compters side by side, there might be a solution. Google Maxivista.... This might work... Good luck!

Thanks, but I don'tthink that would help. What happens is this: I create an application on my 2 monitor setup, but the arrangement is different at work. I can't control where the windows go, so if I then run an application on a different single or 2 monitor setup, the window won't appear. I might just have to resort to single screen for coding in Blitz!

You could purchase a 'monitor splitter' that instead of showing a dual screen setup, it makes the computer think that is is just a single wide monitor. I don't remember what it was called, but there was an ad for that equipment in PC Gamer.

Okay, the problem was caused by the form designer I used (Blitvision) putting a screen width negative offset into the x position of the CreateWindow command. Thanks for the help and suggestions.
