[WriteLog] WriteLog won't stay put w/Dual Monitors

You're not puzzled at all Phil.  That's it exactly.  Some software has
trouble with negative screen address, but most can read it fine.  I've
had Dual Monitors at work for years and I had the main monitor on the
right.  It worked.

I have a dual port video card, Nvidia GeForce FX550 PCI card, THAT WORKS 
FINE WITH ALL OTHER SOFTWARE.  I'll REPEAT; ALL OTHER SOFTWARE STAYS PUT 
ON THIS COMPUTER EXCEPT WRITELOG!

Richard, Maybe you can try the setting I just made if your video card 
has the same thing.

Ok based on suggestions here I tried some setting changes.  I changed
from "Dual View" to "Horizontal Span"  Ok that worked but with some
caveats.  Now my task bar spans both monitors and whenever I open a
program (first time) or get a confirmation (Do you want to - Yes / No) 
window it comes up split between the 2 monitors.  I don't like this 
solution just for one program.  When and if I use WriteLog I'll move the 
right monitor stuff back from the left.  As I said WriteLog is THE ONLY 
PROGRAM that the windows in the right monitor don't stay put with "Dual 
View" and I have other programs with multiple windows.  The "Horizontal 
Span" is a compromise and I don't like it!  But thank you for the 
suggests and giving me an alternative until WriteLog can come up with a 
fix to this ERROR!
