    If you open the FFXIV.cfg file in Notepad (located in My Documents > My Games > Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn) there's a line that states something like "MainAdapter <GRAPHICS ADAPTER NAME>(\\.\DISPLAY1)" under the Display Settings Tag.

    If it states something like \DISPLAY2 change it to \DISPLAY1, save the file and re-launch the game.

    That should force it to launch on the correct display.

    You can also right-click on your desktop, go to Display Settings and check what displays/screens the computer believes are available (in case it's still seeing the second monitor - which I find very unusual if it does after a full reinstall to be honest).

    Found the file does not have a <GRAPHICS ADAPTER NAME>(\\.\DISPLAY1) in it. This is what I got: What can I do?

    Changed ScreenLeft 4294965381 to 8 and all seems to be working now. Looked at my wife's config.
