Not only does DCX work properly anymore, but when I open a clean mIRC on the secundary display and open the Options dialog, it opens it on the primary display. Same goes for all mIRC dialogs. Something I can do to resolve this? Last edited by STING; 11/10/10 03:28 PM.

But anyhow in mIRC 6.35 that option is indeed checked, but to no avail.

I am using multiple monitors and when I run mIRC, the Options and other dialogs open on the correct monitor ie. where the main mIRC window is located. I am testing under Windows XP SP3. Do you see a similar issue with other applications?

It was a setting in the ATI Control Panel. I enabled the Desktop Manager, checked "Preserve Application Position and Size" and unchecked Dialog Repositioning.
