 I noted the same problem in the beta.  With the final version I'm still having the same issue.  Launching Cisco IM or vSphere, or Remote Desktop Manager, or Internet Explorer, or Trillian, non of which adhere to their launch parameters.

Any ideas?  I tested at home and that seems to be working fine.  Gotta' be something on my work PC that isn't right.

Difference between work and home:
Both are Win7 64bit

Work=Business vs Ultimate
Work=ATI video card vs Nvidia
Work=3 monitors (one USB mounted) vs 5 monitors on 3 hardware based (not USB) cards.

 Appreciate all the response!  *sarcasm*

While I'm waiting on the dev's to realize I have a legitimate problem and I'm not going away and to hopefully stop ignoring my post...

I have uninstalled, deleted all folders, and reinstalled AWM 7.  Still same issue.  Nothing adheres to settings until after I stop/start AWM.  If I open another program with settings, I have to stop/start AWM again for it to apply the settings for that program.


HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It does NOT do this on my home PC.  I'm sure it's a setting I'm missing, but I can't find anything.  It's weird to me that the stop/start works with no other changes.

 Hello Chris,

Thanks for the post.

What drivers (name, version) and cable do you use to connect mentioned USB monitor?

Could you check whether the problem persists with the USB monitor disconnected?

Have you experienced this problem with the 6.7.2 version of Actual Window Manager?

Best regards.

 After LOTS of testing and investigation I figured out what the problem was and I now have a workaround.
