Control of Second Screen
With such talent about I just have to ask:
I have 2 LCD screens (set as dual mode, not span, on my XP machine, both run just fine. However I do not use the second screen continously. Now when I restart the machine with only the main screen running and click on a program that had been displaying previously on the second screen, well ofcourse only the program's quick launch icon displays in the ribbon at the bottom of the main screen, the program is running, but does not display as the second that had previously displayed it is de-engerised, off. If the second screen is unplugged then the program (whatever program) will display on the only screen engerised. Is there a way for XP to sense that the second screen though connected, but not switched on, will then simply display the program on the main screen?. I used to use a switchbox that switched the VGA connection of previous CRT screens and simply select a screens etc. The LCD's use DVI, so my VGA switching is redundant. I would love to have a software solution rather than out with the soldering iron and a new box and all that. Thankyou, Dave Qld Aus. |
