Can you post your preferences file here, it is in:
C:/Users/--your user name--/Application Data/homebank
you may try to rename it (with .old) and then test again.

Thank you for the reply,

I bet it has something to do with me plugging in a usb 2nd monitor,
then later unplugging it, I bet the coordinates got screwed then.

I think that there is still a problem with this.

I attached a HD TV to my laptop a few days ago. It was positioned above my normal desktop (in virtual terms).

I ran HomeBank that day.

Come back to HomeBank today with no TV plugged in - and HomeBank is running (the taskbar preview and superkey + tab show that), but it's not visible on my screen. My current resolution is 1440 x 900, and here is the what my preferences file says

Wal=15;1088;1390;793;
Acc=52;1068;704;822;
