Cliff, you just have to play with the display settings a little. Do you know how to get to them from the desktop?

 

[Cliff Salisbury]

I am not sure. Any instructions are always appreciated.

For XP:

-Right click on desktop
-left click properties
-left click settings
-left click on advanced
-left click on your computers graphics card tab (mine says GeForce GTS 250)
-from there every video card will be different,, but you want to run the "set up multiple displays" and "run multiple displays" (or similar) programs by clicking on them.

Good luck

I have a 22 inch HP widescreen on my dual monitor set up. How do you get programs to open up and fill the whole screen?

Mine works if I drag the window to the monitor I want, then maximize it. Then close it on that monitor. The next time I open the program it automatically maximizes on the same monitor.

I have had to repeat it after a software update/restart, but only once so far.
