Strange, which OS is this? Create a copy of the shortcut on the desktop you use to run Mnemosyne, right click on the copy to edit it. Normally, the command to start the program should read something like this: "C:\Program Files\Mnemosyse\mnemosyne.exe" Add the following -d option: "C:\Program Files\Mnemosyse\mnemosyne.exe" - d C:\Users\Clayton
