dual monitor shortcut past active windows

Hello.  I have a problem when the active window (independent of the program) switches between my two monitors when I press the numbers 1 and 2.  1 moves the window to my secondary screen, while 2 returns the window to my primary monitor.  It happens intermittently, but it's still incredibly annoying.  Is there a way to disable this feature or at least identify the behavior that initiates this response?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

I know for sure that Windows itself can not do this with the numerical keys (she uses the key combination Windows + SHIFT + arrow to move an application to another monitor).  But nVidia and ATI video card drivers have both include some shortcuts like this.  That would be my first recommendation to begin.

What video card you have, if you know?

  • Dual monitor boot problem with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit after installation of any graphics program like a game.

    I have built this platform with the help of the owner of a store of 4 cumputer teir 2 years ago. We initially put Windows Vista 32 bit on the system to Vista 64 bit unstable atm. For 2 years, the computer worked like a dream. Last week I made a clean wipe of windows vista and windows 7 professional 64-bit installed. The system has two monitors. The primary monitor is a sony bravia with 26 "led and secondary for watching movies is that a 55 '' led Samsung 1080 p 240 Hz. The graphics card is a geforce GTX 295 nividia. It has 12 GB of Ram and the CPU is an i7 965 @3.20.

    The problem I have is this. After the installation of any game average to work with windows 7, the screens to reset their resolutions automatically more than a few times as they are confused. Sometimes, I have to return the screen to its correct resolution after installation in full. Most of the games and then run fine. After installing the game or any game designed for win 7 startup of computers is all messed up for the monitors. After starting hand 26 "sets its resolution and then after about a second 30 pause the computer makes the sound (the double) that it is resolutuons to reset monitor again? After that this second reset about 1-2 minutes the computer is good to go, unless it sets the res evil. The problem is the computer has never done that with vista and it is very annoying say the least. It still freezes the installation of some games. The only way to resolve what I found is the restoration of the system. The computer starts normally and screen ground is defined once she has always been. The only problem is when you install another game, the problem is their new. This problem is worse in some games.

    Hi ancientone618,

    It sounds almost as if there is a Windows update that is in conflict with your NVIDIA Driver Installer.  I would say to disable automatic updates of Windows to see if it might help:

  • Dual monitor problems

    I have been using two monitors (1 monitor my primary monitor, 2 monitor showing an extension of monitor 1) for several years now. All of a sudden, monitor 2 links is no longer. I swapped the connections from the cables to the back of my Tower. When I started my computer, startup began the 2 monitor, but as soon as Windows is fully booted, 1 monitor again became the primary monitor and 2 the screen went black. I guess this isn't a hardware problem.

    After some tinkering on the video card Control Panel, I could get 2 monitor to display, but it is no longer made reference the name of the 2 monitor (Asus) as a monitor. It refers to the second screen as "Digital Display" and considers it a generic Non - PnP monitor. I don't understand how it happened, why it happened or how to get my second screen displays correctly again. Currently, monitor 2 a haywire resolution, and I can't improve it (my own, its because he does not recognize the Asus monitor properly and does not know the capabilities of resolution of it).

    I hope someone can understand my problem and is able to help, because I simply can't understand it.

    Hello

    Hi ManajitSengupta,

    You want to hope that it is not a compatibility problem, because that could leave you a GROUND for a solution. Assuming that everyone even working on a solution. I had a few problems after the upgrade of Vista that never existed when running the Windows 7 RC on the same computer. The cause of a problem is not necessarily in a straight line between Win7 and the problem device. The only things I can think of now are the driver/software standard, tedious, technical troubleshooting. Starting by ' screens exhibit the same behavior when a simple SVGA driver is all that is installed? »

  • I have a Setup dual monitor.  When I paste develop settings from one image to the other, Lightroom going on the active window.

    Strange problem.  5.5 Lightroom.  Windows 8.1. Setting up dual monitor.

    I am processing a lot important photos.  I have #1 monitor set as my main to develop the window with #2 monitor configured only to display a larger version of the image, I work with. If I copy the parameters of development out of a picture and try to paste them on another image, Lightroom will increase from the #1 to the monitor #2 monitor in the main window to develop and does not display anything on the monitor #1.

    If I then try to paste develop settings on another image on the monitor #2, LR then displays a larger version of the image, I have been working with the #1 monitor.

    To work like I want to, I have to constantly drag my develop the window back to the #1 monitor whenever I try to paste the settings on a new image of development. How can I make this stop?

    I have similar (but different) problems dual monitor. Just posted this on my thread unanswered. It may be useful:

It is a stretch... a biiiiig stretch... but he is feels/figure/seems that PhotoShop CC update has fixed my bi-ecrans LR problems! I'll keep track of what other programs I use and open while LR - ing to see if they are relaxing, but for now, everything is quite in front of two monitors.

  • Installation of the driver software window opens on the second monitor in a dual monitor extended installation of the monitor

    The "Software Installation" window will open on the second monitor in a dual monitor extended installation of the monitor

    I have a dual display setup. A 225WS 1680 x 1050 monitor LG is connected via a VGA cable and a VGA - DVI converter to a DVI port on a Radeon 6850 video card. The second screen is a Samsung HDTV set at 1920 x 1080 and connected via HDMI on the same video card. I have set up the screen LCD as main monitor and the Samsung HDTV as the extended display. HDTV is most of the time, but I use it at least once a day. This isn't a driver problem, because it happened also when I had an old Nvidia video card and it is fixed by a new installation of windows and setting up of screens from a square.

    The installer works great almost all the time except when I try to use some programs or Windows functions (7). When I try to start the MozBackup application or I pop in a new usb device and click on the notification bubble, both these windows (MozBackup and the "Driver software Installation" window) open in the center of the HDTV as opposed to the LCD (which is defined as primary). The problem is that the views are ~ 3 meters out and HDTV is mostly off.

    I sent a bug report to the developer of MozBackup because this part is perhaps a problem with its software or what old Windows functions and hooks it uses, but the window "Installing the driver software" (or who knows what other program Windows Basic) has exactly the same problem and is part of Windows.

    What can I do about it? I DIDN'T put the displays in any mode "clone" to have office in mirror between them. Is - this fixable somehow? I guess that is not a problem with the video card drivers because I used two different video cards with either the manufacturer or windows update drivers and the problem is the same.

  • Windows Snap function does not work inside a Setup dual monitor.

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 fully updated.  So far, it's great. But I have two monitors, 1440 x 900 primary and secondary 1280 x 1024 with the secondary monitor on the right of the main screen. When I try to 'break' a window on the edge of each monitor located next to the other monitor, nothing happens.  I was wondering if it was a typical problem people have seen or if it was just me and if there is no way to do work or if there was a patch for it. (A built-in feature of Google chrome "fit" allows inside monitors). Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    The action which engages a window on the side of a monitor, when you drag a window, is when the cursor comes in contact with the last row of pixels on the edge of the screen. Since there is no physical "edge" where monitors meet on a dual monitor configuration by dragging a window to that location does not work.

    You can always break a window inside edge on a double configuration monitor using the keyboard.

    I just added a second monitor (same size and resolution as the first monitor). After using "personalize > display settings", activating the second monitor in the mode double screen, monitor the position and resolution, then selecting "apply > Save Settings > OK" the new monitor will work fine. However, when I restart the PC, Windows knows more on the second monitor and I have to redo all the settings more. It's ALWAYS happening (and not sporadically).

    Jon,
    Download ATI Catalyst Control Center, which includes the updated drivers for your card, of the following:
    http://game.AMD.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=Vista64/common-Vista64

    After installing the software and restarted, you can access their software by clicking on start-> all programs-> Catalyst Control Center, click on CCC
    Then adjust your settings of dual monitor since the display under chart type Manager, here you can set the desktop, the refresh rate resolution and you want 1 of a possible 5 modes (press F1 to get help with their applicaton) display. Make sure that save you after having selected the desired configuration.
