Hi all, My PC crashed today, and so I have set up my laptop with the existing monitor (which is still OK) in a dual monitor setup (i.e. the laptop screen is the primary monitor and my 17" monitor is the secondary). The secondary (17") monitor is the one that is my viewing monitor of choice (ie its bigger and right in front of my face). Due to functional restrictions in XP Home with dual monitors, I am unable to set this as my primary monitor. I have had a couple of problems with Poser, as follows : (1) I stretched the Poser window across the two screens, and re-arranged all the "bits" (i.e. Lights, Tools, Display Styles, Parameter Dials, viewing window) according to the way I wanted it. I also set this as the preferred state, and then closed it down. When I re-opened it, it displayed only on the laptop screen (this seems to be the default), but I wanted Poser to wake up with all of the last settings intact - including the stretching across the two screens. Can someone tell me how to fix this ? (2) When I open up Poser, the parameter dials display on the secondary monitor (i.e. 17" monitor) but the rest of the Poser window displays only on the primary monitor (i.e. the laptop screen) - as per the first problem. (3) If I drag the Poser window to the secondary monitor (the 17"), certain dialogs (e.g. the rendering progress bar) still display on the primary monitor. This is a royal pain. Any help and advice appreciated. FWIW, I am on XP Home. regards, Andrew
