Double Monitors & Dialog boxes
Double Monitors & Dialog boxes
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm experimenting with a setup using two monitors.
I can get them both working, but now I'm having problems with Pro/E (and a few other programs).
What I'd like is to have Pro/E start maximized in my primary window, and all of the dialog boxes, menu managers, etc show up in the secondary.
I can manually drag these dialog boxes there, and if it shows up again, it pops up on the second screen, but everytime there is a new dialog box in the session, I have to shift it over to the second monitor.
I am having similar problems with some other software (Sketchup).
Does anyone know of a way to tell Pro/E (or windows, or my graphics adapter) to make any new dialog boxes show up on my secondary display?
Other than this, using the 2-monitor layout is sweet.
(I'm using an NVIDIA card with WF2 M130 on this machine)
TIA

Going through all those menus made me feel nostalgic about 2001 :P

I went on to the NVIDIA site and under the drivers section, there is a link for PTC-compatible drivers. I was originally using the driver from the CD that accompanied the card.
I've actually run into some other minor issues (if I try to play music, the second screen is taken over by some psychedelic visualizations thanks to Windo$e Media Player). But I switched to Winamp and all is good.

The other person I work with came back from vacation and took his monitor back... It was fun while it lasted.
