Scarecrow Man Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Right click the Desktop > Properties > Settings TabLook around at the settings and see if you can find the Extend Desktop onto secondary monitor. Click that, but also check advanced settings to make sure it is set to "mirror" the first monitor. This will give you the same image on both, rather than extending it across.

luckSpray Posted October 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 But I dont have problems with graphics...The main problem is simple: Windows XP doesnt save the start menu bar position if it is on the secondary monitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaaaa Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 what vga card do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaaaa Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 in actual fact that doesnt matter. right click on desktop-> properties-> settings there is an option in the middle of the screen that says "use this device as the primary monitor that will be checked so you have to click on the secondary monitor and check that as the primary monitor now if you go back to the previous monitor that option should be unchecked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckSpray Posted October 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 but if i check the secondary monitor as primary, all games will be displayed on the secondary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaaaa Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 that is the only way unless you play games in a window else if i have understood correctly what you are wanting to do is not possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
