When a window is off screen, it is possible to "move" that window on screen by
right clicking it in the task bar, selecting move, and then holding down the
appropriate "left" or "right" arrow keys to move it on the display. Try it some
time to see how it works and then you'll be ready for the moment.

First , as I was very tired last night from working at finishing up my
newly finished basement shack I neglected to mention I didn't have the
problem will all SatPC32 configurations, the program was behaving properly
with configuration 1. I avoided this issue for at least a year until now, as
I had to add another radio.
I did a search for all occurrences' of SatPos.SQF I found the offending
file, did an edit, but the edit wouldn't stick as I couldn't quit the
program properly(with a proper quit) as the SatPC32 window was still off
screen. What I figured out I had to do, was change the SatPC32 shortcut
start properties to start maximized. After the program came up, I then saved
it with a quit. Then changed startup properties back to a normal window.
Then restarted SatPC32 and positioned the window where I wanted it to
startup and then did another quit. I had to do this for configurations 2, 3,
and 4. I'm running XP , never configured a second monitor, I have no idea
how this happened. Thanks for all the help. All is once again good in KB2M
sat op land :-)

Hi Jeff,
if you have at least a part of the program window on the screen move it back
with the mouse to the position you want. Then close the program from the
menu "File", "Quit". That will save the last screen position. Closing the
program with the "x" control will not.
If the window is completely off the screen, change the two first entries in
the text file "SatPos.SQF" in the SatPC32 DATA folder, for example set both
values to 0. The window will then be positioned in the uppler left corner of
the screen.
The data folder is hidden by default. So, make all files and folders visible
(Explorer- Tools - Folder Options - View). The path of the folder depends on
the OS, under XP it is C:\Documents and Settings\Username \AppData\SatPC32,
under Vista and Windows 7 it is C:\User\Username\AppData\Roaming\SatPC32.
