trouble with reconciling

[Paula Hendricks]

i had checked this with all the "show all windows" tricks i knew... and the tips window showed up, but the reconcile transaction window did not. so i set my computer to hdmi to show my TV monitor and there it was. the only time i use the TV monitor is to stream movies, so i couldn't imagine that this would happen. i don't use this monitor for "general work"....

THANK YOU so much. i had found the tips window, but hadn't opened up the TV monitor. 

is there a way to keep it on my laptop screen?
