I tried changing monitors and it still doesn't work - but does that really prove anything?
The 2nd monitor is a different type of monitor, with a different size, etc. Maybe it just isn't displaying correctly without restarting (which I don't want to risk doing). Are there any commands I could use for this? Thanks, doug On 6/27/03 6:54 PM, "Cannon, Andrew" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Any chance you could get a second monitor and try that?
