After mirroring, application window disappears

Question

My application window disappears after I shut down the LCD. For example, Safari is open with one window showing and when I turn off mirroring, the open window is gone. The application shows there is a window open, or 2 or 3, but even with Bring All to Front or Gather All Windows, the windows do not show up on my screen. Before mirroring, the resolution is 1680 x 1050 and during mirroring, it is either at 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768.
Thanks in advance.

Hi dogwood23
Try switching your setup back to Extended Desktop (mirroring off) and drag the Safari window back to the iMac display.
To answer your second question, have a look at the Resolution section of the following article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303086
The part about +"When the computer is mirroring video, it tries to synchronize the resolution of the built-in and external displays. If they can't be matched, the computer will change the resolution of both screens to the highest common resolution"+ say's it all.
I always keep my 17" iMac and 27" flatscreen TV setup in Extended Desktop! That way I control the resolution of each display and the location of all windows!
