From Dual View to single view
I have a Geforce4 4200Ti and I was running two monitors with Dual View.
Unfortunately, one of the monitors has gone pop. I have an application which I always had on the second monitor but always refused Ctrl-1 or Ctrl-2 to change monitors and there was nothing in the right-click context menu to change monitors. Dragging the window was the only thing that worked. I want to move this application back to monitor 1 but I can't seem to do it. I tried renaming it but it still starts on monitor 2. I uninstalled my Leadtek drivers and installed the latest v7 Nvidia drivers. When I select Profile Properties from the Quick Tweak tray icon the monitor goes blank and I can't get it back. Any suggestions? |

Good luck is all I can tell you, had this happen to me with Excel spread
sheet tried everything I could to get it back to mon 1 what finally worked was a hope and prayer and moused over to where the old monitor was a few times and was able to drag part of it back to mon 1. Then resized in mon 1 pressed shift and closed Excel and all was good after that. Rich "Worleytogo" wrote in message oups.com...

Any suggestions? Have you definitely flipped the drivers back to single monitor mode? If so, start the app. Press Alt+Space together, and then press M (this brings up the window control menu, and chooses the Move option). You still won't be able to see it, but at least then you use the cursor keys to try to bring it back onto the desktop (if you remember roughly where it used to open, eg. if your 2nd monitor was on the right, use the left cursor key to drag it back to the desktop). The other way would be to find out where it stores it's window location co-ords and reset them. This could be in a configuration file (eg. .ini in the app installed dir), in the registry, or in some obscure binary file. The first 2 should be easy to adjust, the latter practically impossible.

Dan,
Spot on with the Alt+space and M - it worked a treat. Cheers. Spack wrote: "Worleytogo" wrote in message oups.com... I have a Geforce4 4200Ti and I was running two monitors with Dual View.

Can't you just go to display settings, and uncheck "extend my desktop" or
whatever the exact wording is from the second monitor? I run 6 monitors and this works for me. Dave P "Rich" wrote in message ng.com...
