Here's the deal, I've got two monitors and I've usually got mIRC in the left one.

I was away during the weekend and used Radmin in order to check a few things, so this time I moved mIRC to the right monitor.

When I came back today I moved mIRC back to the left monitor, and when I right clicked I noticed that the popup appeard on the left side of the right monitor, which is wrong.

I've restarted mIRC and checked through mirc.ini but found nothing that would seem logical to change to get it back.

This is getting pretty annoying even if I don't use my popups so often. Everything else, ie: script editor, channel central and such also appears on the left side of the right monitor.

Has anyone seen this happen before?

Using:
mIRC 6.14
XP PRO SP1 Swedish, with all updates.

Usually, when using multiple monitors, you can drag parts from one monitor onto another monitor. Try doing that with your popups and see if they stay there. If not, I'm not sure as I don't use multiple monitors.

I've tried to move mIRC to the left monitor, close it, restart it. But still, it opens in the right monitor. And I can't drag-n-drop popups.

And it's odd, I mean, this has never happened before.

Temporarily disable the second video card through your device manager (presuming that you have two video cards and not one card with dual outputs), then start up mIRC. Since the second video is disabled, windows won't be able to put the display from mIRC onto the wrong display. Then move the pop-ups to where you want on the single display, save the positions of the windows, close mIRC, re-enable the 2nd video & restart mIRC. That should put your mIRC back to just the single monitor...or at least, that's what I had to do when I attempted to duplicate your problem, & tehn resolve it.
