Media Portal in second screen? (1 Viewer)

[spawn666]

Hello,

I have a dual screen system and want to open media portal on the second screen by default. At the moment it only opens it on my main screen. How to I configure it so media portal always opens on the second screen?

thanks

It works in windows mode..but not in fullscreen.
soon as I switch to standaard full screen and start the application it starts in display 1 and con no longer be moved.
The responce is also very slow. way better in my old clone mode setup \
I added a screen shot of my settings.

You might have to designate the monitor that you want MP to be on as your Primary monitor. Some video cards, while they support dual-screen, they can only do things like 3D and overlay or other video acceleration on one of them, and that will go to your Primary.

Go to the Display control panel and on the Settings tab, select the display you want MP to be on and check the box that says "Use this device as the Primary monitor".

I'd be interested to know if that fixes it for you.
