win 8.1 dual monitors x2 will not open on 2nd monitor

Post by jgt1942 »

This may NOT be an x2 issue but I cannot find a solution. I'm running Win8.1 with the latest updates as of 2013 1227. When I start X2 it defaults to open on my primary monitor whereas before a recent update it would default to my second monitor (or where ever I last closed X2) in my desired position. So far I've not found anything helpful on the web. When I used Win7 I did not have this issue.

I'm running X2 v2.4.0.1 just a few minutes I upgraded X2 and I did not notice the issue prior to the upgrade but just recently performed a clean install of Win 8 and upgraded to 8.1 The past few days I've been installing applications and making minor tweaks.
Suggestions would be appreciated!

1. do you save settings on exit in x2?
2. is there any other program that won't open in the 2nd monitor?

Dawg - I just installed 48 office updates, rebooted and now X2 starts on my second monitor. What tha.....? I'm not sure what the heck is going on. I've had some really weird issues with this build.

For now all is working, I'll let you know if it happens again. Thanks for the quick reply!
