Default Lost Windows - Resetting Window Positions

Hello,

I recently downsized from three monitors and two video cards to two monitors
and one video card. However, I have one program that keeps coming up on the
third monitor even though there is no third monitor.

Does anyone know how to get that program to load on the main monitor?

You would think Microsoft would be smart enough to fix Vista so that it
realized a monitor was now missing and open the programs on the default
screen. I guess that was a little too much to ask for.

Thanks for any help

Ok here is what you have to do...

Right click on the taskbar button entry of the application that is offscreen
and select move,
then without doing anything, press the left or right arrow key on your
keyboard,
the application window will "stick" onto the mouse cursor and you can move
it into view.

tell me if this helps

Well, I would never have thought of that. However, when I right click on the
task bar for it there is no move option. I have Minimize and Close with
Restore being grayed out. Nothing more.

Nope. Didn't do it.

Just in case it matters the program that is the problem is the label
printing software for the Dymo LabelWriter 400 Turbo.

Seriously, you should have been able to get it back onto the main screen
using Move, as mentioned when he posted as sigoromuth.

If you are still having problems with this, you could always use UltraMon,
which gives you the option for a program to open on a particular monitor.
Go into the program's shortcut properties, after installing it.
