Re: [amibroker] Re: [OT] Best Quad-Video card for Vista?

Hello,

I am running on 32 bit XP and 32 bit Vista. I may check this later on 64-bit Vista
but it should not make any difference.

Just make the following test:
1 Choose Analysis->Formula Editor menu.
2 The Formula Editor will open up.
3 Now move it to 2nd monitor.
4 Close it.
5 Choose Analysis->Formula Editor menu.
The editor should open in the correct place on the 2nd monitor
exactly in place where you moved it in step 3

If it works, the chart windows should use the same as it is exactly same code.

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
