SYMPTOMS
If the configuration of the monitors changes when the Application Performance Explorer (APE) runs on a computer with a multiple display configuration, Application Performance Explorer no longer appears when you run it.



CAUSE
The Application Performance Explorer does not support multiple displays. While it can be used in this configuration, the Application Performance Explorer does not detect the reconfiguration of the monitor setup and it starts up in its original location on the desktop, which is no longer visible in the new configuration.



RESOLUTION

 * 1) Start the Application Performance Explorer.
 * 2) Right-click the program on the taskbar, and click Maximize.
 * 3) Right-click a blank area of the taskbar, and click Cascade Windows.
 * 4) Resize the program's window as appropriate.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
This can also happen if you disable multiple display support. Some programs might be displayed off the screen.
