All my processes and effects windows are opening up off center at the lower right of the screen. Is there any way to make them open center every time?

This is a flaw in the Windows API that is called to open a new window. The OS will pick it's own location to place the window which supposedly makes sense to some internal logic of the OS, but which to the user may seem more or less random.

It is possible for the programmer to override this, but in practice few do.

My FX chains remember 'last position'. Some other windows always open centre screen.

You could try docking the windows hat can be, then they'll stay put !

Mine did too...in SF9. Should I re-install 10?

The process and effect dialogs opening low is a bug that crept in during 10.0 development. It will likely get fixed for 10.0a or at least in a future letter update.
