I recently upgraded both my OS and autocad to Win 7 & autocad 2015, and I've discovered an issue that I have not been able to resolve.
my workstation has 2 monitors, autoCAD on one, and I like to have my floating toolbars (properties and tool palette mainly) on my secondary.
Now comes the issue, in Autocad 2006 and 2014 on XP, they would retain position when I closed autocad, upgraded to 7 and 2k15, and every time I open autocad, the Properties and tool Palette windows are on my primary display, right in the centre, move them back to the positions I like them in, save workspace, close, re-enter...back to the centre. I've even tried locking all toolbar positions, only thing that does is brings them back in at the centre, locked in place.
Anyone have any ideas?

way back before I switched to Inventor, we used Acad with two monitors.
One of the tricks we used to keep things on the second monitor were to place them rigth at the edge of the 1st monitor - just enough where there was a sliver of the window left on monitor #1, that way it would hold the position next time Acad was started.
That was back in the 2006-ish version days - I'd hope this situation would have improved by now but apparently not.
Nope, that doesn't work, 2k14 and 2k6 could both handle them being on the far left edge of the monitor (next to the autocad window) with a sliver of a border between it and the primary monitor. No dice on 2k15 with win7.
I had the same issue:

It turned out to be a driver conflict between the onboard Intel drivers and the dedicated AMD graphics card. To fix the problem, I had to uninstall the Intel and AMD drivers, then reinstall the AMD drivers only.
That link ended up providing the info necessary (this system had no intel graphics drivers on it at all), it was hydravision overiding window positioning (why must AMD think it knows what's best?!)
I'm glad one of those responses was able to help you out. And welcome to the forums!
