AVS Fullscreen with multiple monitors

Slime · 16th January 2001, 00:06

I have two monitors hooked up to this one PC. Anything displayed on the secondary monitor is sent to a large screen, and I'd like to be able to use the AVS on that monitor. I don't care too much whether or not I still have control over the primary monitor. However, no matter what I do, I can't find a way to get the visualization on the *other* monitor. Whenever I set it to full screen, it appears on the primary monitor (the secondary monitor simply goes black). Is there anyway to switch which monitor it appears on?

(Windows 98, by the way.)

If you have Matrox with Dual Head or nVIDIA with TwinCard technology you can display zoomd part ot primary display to whole secondary display. So you can zoom only AVS window in secodary monitor and you still will be able to control primary. If you have same card but did not know about this chech if you have proper drivers and software for this. Other idea is to use new visualization from creator of GEISS there is special option for displaying vis on second dipaly. http://www.firehose.net/free/milkdrop/milkdrop_099.exe
