Thanks for the reply Steve. I've verified the settings you mention below are the same. It has even occurred on my own development system at times and my settings below never change. Very strange... I actually store and retrieve information from ini files elsewhere in the app, but the powers that be what this in the registry for some reason. It looks like if I cannot determine what is causing it, I will have to make that happen regardless.

>>Hi all, I have the following code in my main.prg which works in most instances. However, on some systems (doesn't matter the screen resolution or the OS) for some reason autocenter does not work and neither does setting the top of the form. The form and main screen will appear so high on the screen that the menu is not visible. I have not been able to isolate this problem and determine what is causing it. To fix it, we have been allowing the user to move the window down to where it is visible. However, the same monitor on a different system will show the window exactly where it should be. If there is not a resolution for what is causing this, then I would like to save the new location (.top=4 on some systems) to a registry key and restore it everytime that system starts the vfp app again. Any ideas anyone?
