Hello every one

My problem is to get my browser (explorer 7) to open up on secondary monitor? I never had this problem with XP. I am using a nvidia 8500 GTX graphics card. Any ideas out there?? Thomas

Try control panel, display, settings.

Go to NVidia settings and for the dual screen, select clone. That will solve your problem.

Clone is definitely not what you want as whatever is displayed on the first monitor will be displayed on the second one.

So you just want IE to open up on your second monitor without having to drag it over? Or will it not drag over?

The browser *should* open up to whatever location it was in when you closed it.
