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

Ok Tomasz,

I seem to have isolated the issue. Perhaps it's a bug I don't know.

If I have AB maximised in my left hand screen and place the floating
windows in the right hand screen, when I save this layout, yes, it
loads back perfectly... all the floating windows in the correct positions.

However, if I have AB miximised in the right hand window and place the
floating windows in the left hand screen, no, saved layouts do not
reload correctly... the floating window loads back into the right hand
screen also. Obviously this was the set up I was using... because I
actually had two instances of AB open. One maximised in each screen.

Any thoughts...?

Thanks
