I'll disable one of my monitors today and see what happens. I'd rather not match the resolution across monitors because my mains are HP ZR24's which are 1920x1200 native, but the tablet is 1440x900 native.
I tried DisplayFusion, which is supposed to be able to force any application to open on a specific monitor. Unfortunately it appears as though it'll only work if the application launches from an EXE, not a .BAT file like Softimage does. I tried to force it to point to XSI.BAT, but no luck. I might have to do a little review of the tablet at some point. It's a 19" "Bosto" brand that, with 3 day shipping from Hong Kong, cost under $700. Other than the issue with Softimage, I'm fairly pleased with it. -Paul On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 10:06 PM, Rares Halmagean <ra...@rarebrush.com>wrote: > Your using 3 monitors might be contributing to the problem.
