specify a different monitor(screen) for Flip 3d

#1 (**permalink**) 10-04-2007, 09:00 AM

I mave multiple monitors, and the main monitor is smaller than the large one.

Flip 3d is unreadable on the small monitor, how do I configure Flip 3d to
use the second monitor?

Thanks

you define the big monitor as the primary monitor

you did not tell us if this is a laptop... IS IT?

Make the other one the primary monitor then, in Display Properties. Your
Taskbar and stuff will move to the other monitor as well.

You can also use UltraMon to switch primary on the fly.

Nope, not a laptop.

The reason for the smaller monitor was to move the taskbar, desktop icons
and sidebar off the larger, "working" monitor.

The Sidebar can be moved to the secondary monitor, in its options, and it
can be a good idea to do this. Icons can be moved too, but having the
Taskbar and Start Menu not on your main desktop area is a bit weird, I
think.
