gsneville Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I am using both a PC and a laptop with dual monitor set-ups. I regularly use them with a projector connected to the 2nd monitor output.If I open a PTE show on the second monitor, it displays on the primary monitor.Is there a way to get it to show on the secondary monitor.Have tried setting up a powerpoint presentation and created hyperlinks. The powerpoint displays correctly on the 2nd monitor, but when I click on PTE show it shows on primary monitor.ANY IDEAS anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this is because directX is the system used to drive the adaptor (at least pre version 5) and that only supports a single monitor (or at least it only supported a single monitor until the latest version of directX). My fingers are crossed that this may be remedied at version 5!-Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
