--- the cause for the problems
… is the configuration of multi monitor setups in your case.
At least on Windows 7 we have the situation, that changes while Windows is running might not be detected by Java or are not completely updated to the internal places, where Java gets the monitor setup information.
When running with a multi monitor config with Sikuli, the safest way is to take care, that the system boots with the physical monitor setup in place at startup.
Which means, that you should reboot, when changing the monitor setup, if you get these problems with SikuliX.

If you start SikuliX from command line with the options -d 3 -c you get
a debug info about how Sikuli sees the monitors. If this is how it
should be, then SikuliX should work.

Title:
  [1.1.0] Windows 7: Capture problems when changing multi monitor setup
  without reboot

Status in Sikuli:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Hi,

  New here but couldn't find this reported yet. On Windows 7 SP1 64-bit,
  I have just done a fresh install of Sikuli (the latest stable release
  at time of writing SikuliX-1.0.1). Tried out hello world tutorial but
  on the first step got a black screen when capturing image. The screen
  was all black but with the large white text "select an image". Once a
  region was selected, the captured image also came out solid black (my
  desktop is not black). I have tried this a few times including after
  restarting and get the same results each time.

  Note this is not bug 752065 "Screen goes black when capturing image
  when running on VM Fusion" - I am not using a virtual machine. However
  the symptoms are otherwise similar. Of note, I do have Virtual Box
  installed, although it was not running at the time.

  Given this release is quite old now, I am guessing it may possibly be
  an issue on my part, otherwise somebody else would have reported it?
