Safari opens on the secondary monitor
I have two monitors 27 "and Safari insists on opening on the secondary monitor, no matter what I do. All this experience and have you been able to solve it?
Whenever it happened, it was because I dragged a window or a tab there. At one point, I closed Safari. Then when I opened it again, he would open the 2nd monitor.
What I did:
When Safari opens on the screen 'wrong', enter a tab open and drag it to the other monitor, then let go. You should have Safari open on both monitors. You must also have a menu bar of Safari on both monitors. Open the window on the monitor that you don't want Safari to open with. The Menu, file, close this window (command-W). You should now have that a single Safari window open on the monitor of your choice. Go menu, Safari, quit Safari. Then try to reopen the Safari. It should open on the screen of your choice.
I can't find a setting for the default screen for Safari.
If this happens again, make sure the last window you are closing is on the screen of your choice.
I hope this helps! Let us know...

Notepad opens off screen on the secondary monitor
Hello
Please bear with me as I'm NOT a Windows person - I usually run Macs. but I'm back to my parents and it's their Windows box.
They are running XP Home SP3. This problem affects all user accounts.
Basically they run a 2 monitor setup - a LCD, a somewhat old (although still perfectly!) Dell CRT reference. The question is about the latter.
Note, I asked my father and he assures me that no applications have been installed since he first noticed this problem. I tried to solve problems better than I can, but I don't have Macs, Windows!
Basically, the notebook want to open on the secondary monitor (running its native resolution of 1024 x 768) completely off the screen (to minimize it, maximize, and close buttons are unavailable). The only way I found to fix it is to reduce the resolution of 600 x 800 and then back to native, but he is a bit of a PITA bread as she has to do every time. As far as I know, the notebook is the only application affected and no new software--or drivers--have been installed since this question bagan occurring. Windows Update is configured to run automatically, even if I don't remember the last time she did it.
I'm sure there must be a quick solution, and easy for this question - if someone would just enlighten me as to what it could be!
Thank you very much

And I'm not a person dual monitor, so I'm not positive that it works.
When Notepad opens, there will be a tab in the taskbar. Click on this and select move. Now, use the arrow keys to get to the screen. Close all other windows except this one and use the cursor to drag the message to the format full screen, or any size you want. File | Output and Windows expected to retain the size when you open it again.

How to view Subvi on the secondary monitor with remote panels?
I try to have a Subvi, called from a VI hand open on a secondary monitor. I use panels remote to control my main application, which is open in a web browser on the secondary monitor. I tried to adjust the monitor properties VI - Position of the immediate window - to '1' and also tried to set this value programmatically by using the node property of front panel, but doesn't seem to work. My Subvi always appears on my primary monitor.
I use LV 8.6.1 RT and my application is running on a CRIO.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thank you

As far as I know it of not possible to set the external monitor as the main screen on startup.
But what the graphics card is installed on your laptop?
On the Toshiba site I found a new version of the Intel display driver.
But is it possible to automatically activate the external display and set it to the main monitor without using the docking station? -

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.
I'm talking about a window similar to this one
http://jaunty-electronics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Freedom_FRDM-KL25Z_driver_install.PNGTry changing the backup.ini
you find it in
.. \Program files (x86)\MozBackup\backup.ini
Open the file backup.ini with editor
Check if you have the rights to save the changed files in this directory. You may need to change the Directory rights
Change the value of "1": monitor
wyzodir =
; Monitor: the monitor number where MozBackup window will appear
monitor =1
'2' or whatever the value of your primary monitor is:
wyzodir =
; Monitor: the monitor number where MozBackup window will appear
monitor =2
System main screen could be identified as '1 '. If you have changed the monitors, it can be used internally '2 '.

Running Win 7/64 with 2 monitors. Program opens in the external monitor, not primary. Have you tried a primary mobile window, exit ap, then re-opening: no solution.
Hello
· The same thing happens with other programs?
Try this:
a. open a PDF file. Now, UN-maximize the file. Hover over to the other monitor. Now, close the document WITHOUT maximizing it on the new monitor.
b. now try to open a PDF file. It should open on the new monitor. Blow it up and close it again. Now, a new PDF opens on the new monitor, and it will be maximized when opened.
c. therefore, apparently, the trick is to close when it is not expanded on any monitor you want to open on. Adobe will remember whether or not a document has been expanded and open PDF one another in the same way, but it will update the monitor to use when a document is closed so that not maximized.
Look at this link in the Adobe forums: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/392726

Using remote connection to a system with two monitors
At work, I have a Windows XP Pro SP3 system with two screens. Sometimes, I work from home using my PC at home to connect to the network through a VPN and logging remotely and then in my work computer. When I launch a program that last turned on my secondary screen to work, it is not visible at home because the remote access connection supports only one (primary) view. The same thing happens with pop-up in applications, for example a search window. If the last time I used search in Word, I moved the contextual search to the secondary display window, so I can't see the search engine remote access connection using from home. Some of these pop-up windows have no menu on them to minimize, maximize, move, and close so there is (apparently) no shortcut to open this menu
If a tab of the window appears in the taskbar at the bottom of the Windows desktop, I can right click on it and a popup menu will appear. I then click on move, then left click of the mouse and start dragging until the window off the screen starts to appear on my primary display. However some windows have no popups menus when I right click on their tab taskbar so I can't select move. Others have no tab that appears for them in the taskbar.
Is it possible to move such a window to my primary remote access connection screen without being able to see it?
If not, is there a way to move my work computer to screen single operation of the House using to access remote connection so that all windows appear on the main display?
Thank you!
Don't know if it will work, but it's worth a try...
Try a right-click in an open in the tray area and then select the "Cascade Windows" option in the context menu.
You can also try to move by pressing Alt-space on the keyboard and then the key M. is the equivalent of a "move". Then use the left or right arrow key to move the window in the view.
