First , as I was very tired last night from working at finishing up my newly finished basement shack I neglected to mention I didn't have the problem will all SatPC32 configurations, the program was behaving properly with configuration 1. I avoided this issue for at least a year until now, as I had to add another radio. I did a search for all occurrences' of SatPos.SQF I found the offending file, did an edit, but the edit wouldn't stick as I couldn't quit the program properly(with a proper quit) as the SatPC32 window was still off screen. What I figured out I had to do, was change the SatPC32 shortcut start properties to start maximized. After the program came up, I then saved it with a quit. Then changed startup properties back to a normal window. Then restarted SatPC32 and positioned the window where I wanted it to startup and then did another quit. I had to do this for configurations 2, 3, and 4. I'm running XP , never configured a second monitor, I have no idea how this happened. Thanks for all the help. All is once again good in KB2M sat op land :-)

Then close the program from the menu "File", "Quit". That will save the last screen position. Closing the program with the "x" control will not. If the window is completely off the screen, change the two first entries in the text file "SatPos.SQF" in the SatPC32 DATA folder, for example set both values to 0. The window will then be positioned in the uppler left corner of the screen. The data folder is hidden by default. So, make all files and folders visible (Explorer- Tools - Folder Options - View). The path of the folder depends on the OS, under XP it is C:\Documents and Settings\Username \AppData\SatPC32, under Vista and Windows 7 it is C:\User\Username\AppData\Roaming\SatPC32. 73s, Erich, DK1TB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff KB2M" <k...@comcast.net> To: "'Amsat BB'" <amsat-bb@amsat.org> Sent: Friday, December 09, 2011 11:59 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] SatPS32 off screen window > Has anyone had a SatPC32 problem where the program opens in a window off > screen.
