The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual Studio, Enterprise Edition 6.0

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.

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.
