I just discovered that if you have a two-screen computer, and your shortcut is not on the SAME SCREEN that the software opens on, your DraftSight may not run properly.

I'm not making this up. I've haven't been unable to make DraftSight run properly since I bought it 3 months ago. The desktop shortcut was on my left screen, the software opens on my right screen.

Since I made them both on the same screen everything is working fine. This is utterly repeatable on my computer, may also be true on your computer. It's easy enough to check!

I have informed tech support.
