How to change to second monitor...

[harryball]

Using Windows 7.

I never thought this would be so hard to figure out. How do I move my primary work window to the second monitor? Not just a preview window, the whole thing, all of it. When you open X4 I want it to appear on the second monitor, not cover up my primary working monitor with all my folders, shortcuts etc...

Thanks,

I'm not sure how the second monitor was setup on your computer but you can access the following link from Microsoft.

Nobody has figured out how to do this... Al

I think the two monitor thing refers to spreading the screen across two monitors, not directing a particular window to a particular monitor.

I had the same issue.

Problem is that VS always uses full screen mode, which might make sense to a point...
But it's always shown on the main screen - at least I could never figure out how to move it to another screen, which is not the primary "screen".
Not the best design from Corel out of my point of view. Now-days it's very common to have 2 or even more monitors set-up.

Anyway: I don't know if I can suggest a paid tool here, but after long searches I could only find commercial software for managing multi monitor scenarios.
I did setup a shortcut, so I can move ANY application to another screen - also VS in full screen mode.
The tool I'm talking about is Ultramon. Check it out - I guess they have a trial - as Corel does with VS.

Hope this helps.
