The BOINC Manager not keeps the location if it was started on the second screen.
Renato

Could you please pass by on this thread and give a lot more information about your system, your OS, your hardware and drivers, as well as BOINC version, before explaining in quite some more detail what it is you're trying to do? We aren't checking over your shoulder, you will have to explain in all the detail you can what it is you are doing and expecting.

Sorry, my System is Windows7 64Bit with HD6950 on two Screen and

Boinc runs normaly on the left site



after restart Boinc is on the right site

I'm not sure if anything will restart on the second monitor when one's using extended monitors, but I forwarded it to development anyway. It could well be a Windows thing, though.

Thank you, I'm sure this is a Boinc problem.

I've used multiple monitors in Windows ever since they were first supported by Windows 98, and I've even tried to program for them. It ain't easy, but it can be done.

My current main machine has two 1600 x 1200 screens side by side. I have them in the opposite arrangement to Renato - the primary screen with task bar and icons to the left, the secondary screen to the right. That makes the co-ordinate origin of the secondary screen (top left corner) to be (1600,0)

Using BOINC Manager 7.0.3 on Windows 7, I can maximise the manager on the secondary display. The relevant data written to the registry is:

Height 1216
Width 1616
XPos 1592
YPos 4294967288

That YPos looks better in hex: 0xfffffff8, or -8 :-)

So it seems as if the BOINC Manager display is slightly over-sized, hanging 8 pixels over the edge on all four sides. But apart from that, the registry values look right for my geometry.

If I close BOINC Manager, the registry values are unchanged. But when I open it again, the values change to

Height 1176
XPos -8

- in other words, the Manager has moved to the primary screen: become slightly shorter to accommodate the task bar, and moved 1600 pixels to the left.

This would appear to be something specific to BOINC's start-up logic. Most other applications that I use on this machine (the ones that have a windowsize memory - from Notepad upwards) do not adjust XPos on startup, and stay on the monitor I've most recently parked them on.

Hello Richard
Thanks for the detailed technical information.
Exactly my problem.
