I'm using DisplayFusion for my laptop (unfortunately running Windows Vista) with a 1440x900 screen and external monitor on the left that's 1920x1080. Whenever I close my laptop and come back to it, it resets to thinking that the second monitor is located to the right and I have to go to Open Display Properties and drag the window back in place.
This happens whether or not the second monitor is in portrait mode (which it often is) or whether I'm using Pro mode (activating the trial didn't help).
Anyone else have this problem? Resetting the window locations is getting old.

I downloaded the newest beta, but am having the same problem.
Ok, in that beta version, when you right-click the system tray icon, there should be an option for Monitor Configuration. Could you open that up and configure your monitors via that window and let me know how it goes?
Thanks!

Yeah, I've done it both ways, through Monitor Configuration and Display Properties. Neither seems to save the location of my monitors.
Ok, does this issue happen when DisplayFusion isn't running at all?

That didn't seem to work either.
Ah, it was worth a try at least. It doesn't sound like a DisplayFusion issue since it happens when DisplayFusion is closed as well, so unfortunately I won't be of much help. But I'll leave this thread open in case any other folks in the forums can provide any insight.
Thanks!

I have much the same issue. My detail is here ...

I'm out of ideas.
I have an ASUS P8P67 EVO mobo, two identical ATI 4650 Raedon cards, and 3 monitors. When the system was built, two or the monitors (on one of the cards, in the secondary slot) were positioned and set to portrait, and the third (in the primary slot) to landscape. I recently got a dual monitor stand, and wanted the two portrait monitors to be rotated to landscape. Do all the usual Windows personalizations stuff, 'position' the monitors, save/apply, and reboot.
The monitors came back as portrait. Repeat to the point of annoyance, and try things:
clean start, driver updates, Catalyst Control Center updates, remove/install/remove DiaplayFusion Pro, remove video card, video card / monitor swaps, reset CMOS. In every case, the issue returns - the monitor(s) on the secondary card boots into portrait.
I'm out of ideas.
The hardware configuration now has two monitors on the prior one monitor' (primary) card, running in landscape. The third monitor, now on the original #2 monitor card (secondary), demonstrates the issue.
Any clues would be welcomed. Thanks,

If you're using Windows XP, I believe the registry settings are located in: HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO
For Windows 7, they're stored in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video
Hope that helps!

Thank you for your reply.
I've found monitor config info in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Connfiguration
Still no clue what's writing to those keys.
Thanks,

No worries! I've never seen this issue happen before, sorry I couldn't be of more help!
