Docks move & lose "drawerness"

from Stardock Forums

Using my objectdock plus, love it except for two really pesky problems.

I used multiple monitors/desktops and have one dock on my right hand monitor, number 2,
it is a multiple tab dock. Everytime I log out of windows and return
it moves to the other monitor. Same side but on a different monitor.
So, I drag it back again and again and again. Sigh.

The other problem is it also regularly loses the state of it's
drawerness. I've tried to unset the drawer option so it just stays
on top and I can see it all the time. It works for a short time
and then reverts to being a drawer and disappears. I've tried to
set View Lock Dock Position but it has no affect on this problem.

I'd love suggestions for fixing either of these. Outside of
these problems, objectdock rocks

I run dual monitors and haven't had a problem. A little more info on your system might help.

How are yours set up? Do you use one single desktop that spans both screens(taskbar shows on both). Do you use a special program with them. What video card? What OS? Latest version of OD+?

OK, just getting back to check here.

Some background:

+ version 1.90 Plus Build 535u
+ 3 monitors
+ 1 desktop across all of them, taskbars on each individual monitor
+ Ultramon for multimonitor and task bar control
+ OS = Win Media Center, though I've run this on my previous Win XP Pro with same problem
+ NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS
+ VisionTek Radion X1550

Only thing I can think of is dropping Ultramon for awhile and
see if it helps.

Note the troublesome object dock is not on the "primary" monitor and it always finds
it's way back to the primary monitor after logging out or just switching users.
