Dual Monitors

J

JBL

Two questions:

1) when I extend my desktop to the second monitor my icons but not the START
bar on the bottom move to the second monitor.

Also I have 2 video cards, (one onboard and one PCI) and two monitors
attached (Hansol 19" and a Compaq 17") but my display properties has three
monitors and the onboard and Hansol have 2 entries under settings of the
disp prop.

I have a screen shot of my display properties but it won't let me send it.
If you need it to have fix my problem, I an e-mail it to you.

Thanks

Joe

That's not really a question, just an observation of normal behavior.

That's correct. That's the way it works.

you can grab all the icons and drag them to the monitor you prefer...

also look at the setting that says "use this device as my primary monitor"

as for the third entry just ignore it.

Tell me if this helps... what you wanted to do or your problem was not
totally clear...
