Discussion:
Weird "SUPER SIZED SCREEN" across dual monitors when I start VFP9

Win7Pro, VFP9SP2 (7423), Dell Latitude 5530, dual Dell E-series 24" wide
monitors

Recently replaced my laptop's hard drive. Use Macrium Reflect (and it
couldn't have been easier).

However, when I start VFP now, with the property setting to open
maximized on launch, it opens with crazy dimensions, spread across both
monitors: https://www.screencast.com/t/kMiExIye

I end up having to make the screen normal via dbl-clicking the title
bar, then dbl-clicking it again to maximize to just the one monitor, as
I want it. This isn't fatal; it's just annoying. I found out which
FoxUser.dbf file was in use, SET RESOURCE OFF, opened the resource file,
then ZAPped it. Closed VFP and restarted--no different.

Ideas? tia!

Hey Mike - that is a WEIRD Problem. Funny thing is - I was having the
same problem at work. I had it on a LOT of occasions over the past 1.5
years. Not like hundreds of times, but a good number of times. Yes, I
found it to be an annoyance - and when it occurred - I did what you do
to fix it. But, since it was such a minor annoyance - I never bothered
to post about it here...
