Change the default screen for full screen visualizations?

[shithappens]

I was having a similar issue (single card, two monitors). I found a solution (latest winamp though).

Download the latest winamp. Install, yada yada. Connect your secondary monitor to be on the safe side. Run Winamp and ctrl+p (preferences). Go to the visualizations tab and then select Milkdrop. Click on Configure.

Under 'Common Settings' look for "FULLSCREEN Settings". You should have a drop-down list under display adapters and you should find 2 items (assuming it detects both). Select the second, save and play your song. Let me know if it works for you. It sure works for me.

the thread starter was looking for a solution for avs, not milkdrop

Hey Man!
This method really works. Really chuffed as I'd tried just about every other method before getting here.
Just goes to show that it is worthwhile really digging deep into the settings for these types of programs.

Found the Solution

Go under Preference under the Option menu, than search "Visualizator" (mine is in italian so I don't know the exact name) click on "MilkDrop v..." and click on "configurate", than select on the Fullscreen option "Display Adapter. 2 (Here your graphic card)" select "use fake Fullscreen mode and click on "ok" click again on "Milk..." and press "launch" click two times on the visualizator and here you go!
(I didn't read the user that already posted it -.-)

Thanks for replying gabbalance (and registring just for helping others out) but your solution is for milkdrop, which is a different plugin than we're discussing here in the AVS forum

I HAVE THE ANSWER! Well at least it works for me. Here is what I did:

Options>Visualization>Configure Plug In (To enter this screen you cannot have the Visualization tab open)

Common Settings Tab>
The changes you will make are in the Fullscreen Settings portion
Display Adapter> In the drop down menu select 2. Then check Use Fake fullscreen mode

Click the DualHead button (bottom right)
On this screen there are two drop down menus. BOTH should be "span both screens"

This worked for me and my setup. I hope this helps =)

Your answer is for milkdrop, not AVS.

If you highlight AVS in Preferences > Visualization and click configure, you end up with the "about AVS" box.
