Dual Monitor Usage
Can somebody please explain to me how to use dual monitor? I have it set up
but how do I open another program on it? The only thing on it is the desktop but no icons or start bar and the only thing that I've been able to open on it is the NVidia Control Panel as I can right click on the display. Thanks, Gary |

Dual Monitor Usage
You dont need to open windows on that monitor, you can move them accross
from the other monitor. Select an open program on the first monitor, if it is maximised then press the restore icon (next to the close X up in the top right) and drag it accross to the other screen. If it wasnt maximised then you should already be able to drag it accross. To get a taskbar on the second screen I can recommend the program Ultramon http://realtimesoft.com/ultramon/ it is not free, though i believe a trial is available. "Gary" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Gary I use it with Microsoft Flight Simulator X. I drag the instrument panel over to the second monitor, leaving the sky on my main monitor. Or, I drag the kneepad box to the second monitor. And I open Excel on the main monitor in Restore mode, then drag the edge of the spreadsheet over to the second monitor. This way I can open the spreadsheet with many dozens of columns. If I need to copy something and use all of the main monitor for writing a text, I drag what I want to copy over to the second monitor. Since I write text with Bible verses in it, I can open eSword on the second monitor to do research, then bring the verse into the text. I leave Winamp running on the second monitor to select the kind of music I want to listen to while I work on the main screen. John |
