Due to using HL on multiple screens (I'm assuming) HL now starts off screen. How do I reset the default starting screen position? Can I just delete that from the perf file? If so, which lines do I delete?

Maximize it in the screen that you want it to be in and then shut it down. that works for me. now when i start herolab up it automatically starts maximized in my secondary screen
You can manually clear this issue by editing the file "herolab.prefs", which will be found in the folder where you installed Hero Lab. You need to simply delete or edit two entries within the file. The entries are named "Window X" and "Window Y". If you simply change the current values for these entries to "0" (zero), HL will appear in the top left corner of your screen.
Alternately, you can delete the two entries. If you do this, make sure to delete each entry in its entirety. The entries are of the form:

That worked perfectly Rob! Thanks for the quick reply, even though I couldn't try it out for a few days.
I was trying to replicate this issue today, but I couldn't make it happen. Every time I moved Hero Lab to a different monitor then disconnected the monitor, the next time it started up HL recognized that it was off-screen and moved back to the default location.
Do you have any other information about this issue? E.g. where Hero Lab was before the monitor was disconnected, how many monitors / how they were positioned, anything like that? Have you experienced this problem since you posted about it last month?
I'd like to fix the problem if there is one, but I can't get it to happen with my own testing...
