I haven't gotten the download yet, but I think I know what the issue is. 
  If you're going to start up a window "centered" then you need to place 
it in the center of the primary monitor only.  I know there's an API to 
get the extents of the system monitors.

That, or you can let Windows do the initial positioning itself.  The 
upshot of this is that Windows will automatically position the window on 
the same monitor as the window you launched the program from.

When in doubt, let the system figure it out :3
